Absolutely i am 38 as of August 25, 2021.i grew up tripping on CCC, LSD, SHROOMS & many other designer drugs. But this movie has a HUGE colt following. I always bring back good memories!
One of the few times a classic song has been used in a movie and really manages to create a powerful scene rather than be mere wallpaper for the film in the background.
As a film student, one (of the MANY) thing I find remarkable about the way Richard Kelly tells his story is that every major character besides Donnie is introduced in a song sequence.
Donnie Darko and Tears for Fears... a match made in HEAVEN! What happened to good movies and good songs? They seem to have fluttered away on the wind like beautiful little butterflies...
M Urschel Both music and movies are subjective, but you'll find what you like if you're willing to search for it. It's one of the few good thing about the internet.
Amazing scene and use of music but the story was very disappointing - you shouldn’t have to watch the director’s commentary to fill in the gaps. David Lynch has gotten away with this kind of filmmaking somehow but no joy for Richard Kelly
Quite stunning how one scene can contain so much irony and sarcasm but above all truth. I have never seen another scene that touched on so many themes and had such depth.
I love the montage such an incredible scene in this film. It shows us who the characters are and I like the way it shows us how the characters interact and think of each other, also how very different people are experiencing high school. brilliant too adding that song, makes it nostalgic
donnie darko is my favorite movie of all time. it sparks even the young brains of teenagers (such as myself) to consider the possibilities of energy beyond what we're taught at school or "supposed" to know. this movie makes me ponder planned fate or just "going as you go". also has a dark edge to it which is the kind of thing i love in movies
DD is endlessly fascinating for many reasons. Has characteristics of a cult classic. Sm reason people love Bladerunner from back in 1982. Aesthetically its a work of art I have to say. I was n high school in 1988 and JST saw this film a week ago. I was completly blown away. None of my friends my own age had seen it. For many its also amazing to see the little girl who was in ponytails in ET sitting here teaching. ER star here and PatSwayze RIP. Gyllenhalls first major film. Loads of reason.
Rejoice in thy youth O' young man Ecclesiastes This scene brings back memories of when I was in high school in the late '80s, it was beautiful, it's sad to reminisce about my youth. Being 50 now, it makes me realize that I took those days for granted, when you're in the '80s as a 17-year-old and you are surrounded by the most beautiful things, you don't realize it at the time, later in life you do. This movie is a microcosm of the way things were for me, it was beauty
Saw this film for the first time last night. I'm 60 and I've seen thousands of films in my lifetime. NOTHING compares to this. Its like the Van Gogh of motion pictures. Breathtaking.
The use of this song in this montage certainly beats the already fantastic music video. Side note: I can't help but feel in tune with Barrymore's character at the end. Great physical acting. Portraying the contempt of the situation perfectly.
I grew up in the 80's it was great They say humans are happier when they have more physical interaction. 80's was all about getting dressed up and going out.
The lyrics couldn't fit any more perfect with the plot. "I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance via the system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away, throw it away I made a fire, and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last? Now, now, now, have you no ambitions? My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away And this is my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover In my mind's eye One little boy, one little man Funny how time flies" The song even ends on the word flies (association to airplanes) and an unsettling tone. The feeling of the end of this song is very similar to the feeling when the movie ends. Might be my favorite use of song in film!
I saw this movie and had such a good laugh. It brought back crazy memories of when I was at school and all the characters that were there lol and this great song made it even better.
The first time I watched Donnie Darko I was on shrooms, Just happened to come across it on showtime about 8 years ago, loved it then. I still love it now!! :D
This must be the most inspiredly directed scene in a movie I've ever seen. For example, the grimace on the guy's face at 0:23 - I have no idea whose idea that was and why, but it clearly belongs there and is perfect the way it is.
Some movies need to be left to stand on their own, and I think this is one of them. I haven't even watched the Director's Cut, because for me this is perfect the way it was. S. Darko was by all accounts a disaster, an attempted cash-in that didn't work. But I hear that Richard Kelly is in fact now planning a sequel.
The point of this movie was that Frank woke Donnie up not as some mistake, but as a way of giving Donnie a few weeks of precious time to see that his life was not worthless as he thought. Remember, in those added two weeks he found love, made connections with his mother, father and sister as well as realizing his self worth. The reason he was laughing in the end was because he remembered and understood everything that had happened and felt at peace with the end to HIS world or rather his life.
i never spend money on movies, i always just download them from mininova/utorrent. but for this i made an exception and got the directors cut on blu-ray. this is one of those rare movies that...becomes a part of you and sticks with you for years.
A great movie. It took me a second watching to at least understand what the movie was going for, but now I get the jist of it, I appreciate it as an excellent film. May I add that Drew Barrymore is damn foxy in this movie, and the film is a real showcase for Jake.
That whole scene with tears for fears playing , is my all time favourite scene from any movie. I love everything about that scene.
exactly I as was thinking the same thing when I watched the movie the first time
You know what's even better than that and my personal favorite of Donnie Darko? The opening scene whith INXS Never Tear Us Apart.
You and me both!
@@JayInDecent not as good as the Bunnymen opening
❤❤👍👍
Every scene from this movie is so memorable, truly a classic.
Danjoker I learned it's easier to decipher this movie when you're not trying to decipher it.
Its now considered a cult classic !!
Especially the last...
For real though. What an incredible fucking film
Absolutely i am 38 as of August 25, 2021.i grew up tripping on CCC, LSD, SHROOMS & many other designer drugs. But this movie has a HUGE colt following. I always bring back good memories!
Man... The opening to this song gives me such a overwhelming nostalgia for my days as a kid growing up in the 80s. Beautiful.
Noah Robert Graves I love your profile pic. I've used that same image on my Facebook. 🙏🏻
The good old 80's. Hard to beat.
Missing this so hard right now, cellar door indeed
Same here. Lots of good memories.
Came here to like the comment about how I was feeling.
❤80s
donnie darko is probably one of my favorite movies of ALL time
Same here. What an incredible film, honestly
it's so emblematic, i'm born in 1993 yet this resembles with our generation so much
One of the few times a classic song has been used in a movie and really manages to create a powerful scene rather than be mere wallpaper for the film in the background.
VERY well said
Holy resurrection post. Totally agree. Epic song and brings back so many memories as a teenager in the mid 80s
As a film student, one (of the MANY) thing I find remarkable about the way Richard Kelly tells his story is that every major character besides Donnie is introduced in a song sequence.
thanks for that I never noticed.
Such a good spot that is!
Wow true, is interesting 👌🏻
Donnie Darko and Tears for Fears... a match made in HEAVEN! What happened to good movies and good songs? They seem to have fluttered away on the wind like beautiful little butterflies...
M Urschel Both music and movies are subjective, but you'll find what you like if you're willing to search for it. It's one of the few good thing about the internet.
What happened? They're still happening.
Urch: Chris Cornell Casino Royale comes to mind.
It technically has two tears for fears songs in if you count Gary Jules cover of Mad World
Studios and executives got in the way of both.
This is art , i think this movie was edited by genius,
agreed
An “art” genius, for sure
agreed, and not just for being focused on theoretical physics
This entire fucking movie was brilliance at its best
Amazing scene and use of music but the story was very disappointing - you shouldn’t have to watch the director’s commentary to fill in the gaps.
David Lynch has gotten away with this kind of filmmaking somehow but no joy for Richard Kelly
Donnie Darko is the perfect fit for the Tears For Fears Classic...such a great movie
What a movie and perfect soundtrack. A rare feat.
+Drive.
+Dune.
All the D's ...weird.
Which 'Drive'?
The Mark Dacascos one?
Muad' Dib drive is amazing
Leigh Dappa the one with Ryan gosling
This has got to be one of the best sequences I've ever seen in a movie.
lol that "sit next to the boy you think is the cutest" is just so evil
I like this song more than everybody wants to rule to word, or shout. It has this hypnotic ending that's hard to explain, just awesome
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
I've never seen a full song being used this good in a movie ... fantastic!
The dude snorting a pill or coke at his locker lmfao.
it'd be a pill these days
ElGatosLastLife Seth rogan is a goat
Quite stunning how one scene can contain so much irony and sarcasm but above all truth. I have never seen another scene that touched on so many themes and had such depth.
are you still around?
@@curtismellor somehow yes
I love the montage such an incredible scene in this film. It shows us who the characters are and I like the way it shows us how the characters interact and think of each other, also how very different people are experiencing high school. brilliant too adding that song, makes it nostalgic
Tears For Fears. Great band and classic tune from 1985.
I think this is the best acting I've seen from Drew
I wanna delete my memory about donnie darko and watch it again.
This movie made me get into 80s music.
donnie darko is my favorite movie of all time. it sparks even the young brains of teenagers (such as myself) to consider the possibilities of energy beyond what we're taught at school or "supposed" to know. this movie makes me ponder planned fate or just "going as you go". also has a dark edge to it which is the kind of thing i love in movies
Phenomenal movie. Richard Kelly's first movie, too. He was young AF. This is in my top 5 movies of of all time. Possibly top 3.
Did he make any other good movies

Truly beautiful and brilliant filmmaking.
flawless scene
This movie deserves WAY more attention
Rejoice in thy youth O' young man

:/
Donni Darkos amazing movie.great opening scene, 80's at its best. fear and love lol
Saw this film for the first time last night. I'm 60 and I've seen thousands of films in my lifetime. NOTHING compares to this. Its like the Van Gogh of motion pictures. Breathtaking.
Shawshank redemption?
the greatest film ever
❗I think you mean 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'.
The use of this song in this montage certainly beats the already fantastic music video.
Side note: I can't help but feel in tune with Barrymore's character at the end. Great physical acting. Portraying the contempt of the situation perfectly.
I haven't seen that movie, but TFF is what I listen to daily. And Roland has the most beautiful voice that I've ever heard, his voice melts me 😍❤️
Too bad I didn't grow up in the 80s, it looked like a fun time. Oh well at least I was born in 80s.
I grew up in the 80's it was great
They say humans are happier when they have more physical interaction. 80's was all about getting dressed up and going out.
I just saw this movie the other day and I gotta say, it was excellent!
This sequence right here, is the reason why I 'm in film school!!!
How’s post-film school life?
The lyrics couldn't fit any more perfect with the plot.
"I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
I made a fire, and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies"
The song even ends on the word flies (association to airplanes) and an unsettling tone. The feeling of the end of this song is very similar to the feeling when the movie ends. Might be my favorite use of song in film!
top 5 scenes of all time
Will you still be working at the Yarn Barn?
I heard that’s a great place to raise children
When can I squeeze one out?
This is a nice music scene from Donnie Darko. ❤️💖✨🌙💙🤍
This whole scene down the hall and everything was filmed brilliantly!
I time traveled to put a like on this comment!
I saw this movie and had such a good laugh. It brought back crazy memories of when I was at school and all the characters that were there lol and this great song made it even better.
The greatest music scores in history!!! Doesn't get much better than this!!!
Shits good right?...its a fucxin cigarette lmao
This a great scene. ALMOST looks like one single shot. You hardly notice the cuts. Great song too.
the soundtrack of this movie really is perfect
I love how it slows down when they talk, but speeds up when they walk... classic
I won’t ever forget these days ❤
there are no words to describe the effing awesomess of this movie.
It's crazy how this looks like it should be the music video for this song
Why is this in a different key than the original?
I guess you (me 2) looked the director's cut, not the "original"
Its definitely sped up. Drew Barrymore practically sounds like Mickey mouse
Wait a second it’s sped up
Wait a second copy right can’t remove it.
Sped up for copyright I think
How can you NOT love this song?????
The first time I watched Donnie Darko I was on shrooms, Just happened to come across it on showtime about 8 years ago, loved it then. I still love it now!! :D
A movie about, a bunch of American kids who love British music!
one of the greatest montages ever
Reminds me of the sweetest days at Palm Springs High School
I can't believe Donnie Darko amost got released straight to video
Completely underated amazing film
"you look like you belong here"
One of the very best lines in the film.
Pan's labyrinth and donnie darko are my favorite movies.
one of the greatest movies of all time
Tears For Fears ftw. This movie was soo crazy. Lot of language as well.
This is my favorite scene in the whole movie
I time traveled to put a like on this comment!
THE greatest scene ever.
This is my most favorate movie of all time, some people just don't get it. I could watch this movie everyday of my life..soundtrack is amazing
It sounds like the song has been speeded up.
Yeah ...
It definitely has been
The visuals were obviously fast forwarded through the hallway, so maybe it’s a play to that. Great scene.
@@p0479 more likely it's from PAL to NTSC conversion something *like* that or sped up to avoid copyright
this movie is so perfect...i love it
this film has to have one of the best sound tracks ever classic after classic
This must be the most inspiredly directed scene in a movie I've ever seen. For example, the grimace on the guy's face at 0:23 - I have no idea whose idea that was and why, but it clearly belongs there and is perfect the way it is.
Love this movie, Love this song.... Both pure classics
Wordless exposition. Somehow the director picked the perfect song to accompany that scene.
One of the best movies ever...
Man I need to watch this movie again
And this is pretty much the most awesome scene in the film. I love this film!
Shia labouef 🤣😆🤙
They need a donnie darko trilogy

It's a time tunnel
Samantha darko
Some movies need to be left to stand on their own, and I think this is one of them. I haven't even watched the Director's Cut, because for me this is perfect the way it was.
S. Darko was by all accounts a disaster, an attempted cash-in that didn't work.
But I hear that Richard Kelly is in fact now planning a sequel.
love this scene, what a great movie this is.
and this is why she was fired!
That’s why he wasn’t stressed
He was only shocked slightly by slight changes
I am in love with this movie.
My favorite movie. I am in love with Jake's character, Donnie, hot, hilarious, and not afraid of anything. The end always makes me cry :P
Awesome tune in an Awesome film.
Don't get much better....
one of the best theatrical scenes in history.

This is the best shot in the whole film, oh my fucking shit it gives me goosebumps
Drew Barrymore was stunning in this movie. This song is so nostalgic to the feelings I would get as a young teenage girl watching this movie.
I never seen her look better, love her with reddish hair.
fantastic moovie, the best soundtrack ever .....
pure art.
Donnie Darko's insight into recent event.
the audio for this is played 2 wholetones higher than the other donnie darko 'head over heels' videos..
i just have cried with this scene damnnnn
i hope there's a guy like donnie darko out there somewhere.
I remember hating this movie, but I liked this entire clip a lot. Maybe I should give it a rewatch and see if I like it better the second time around.
This scene was one of the reasons why I went into teaching.
simply beautiful
HAHAHA!! You gotta love the dude snortin' at 0:55 and the high five fail at 2:05 between Donnie's sister and the girl that plays Sam in iCarly.
Best scene in the movie in my opinion
Jake Gyllenhaal is fucking GORGEOUS in this movie. Also, this is my all-time favorite film. :D
