DONNIE DARKO...
Most movies fit neatly into one of the categorical drawers in your DVD rack. Each is either a drama, romance, teen, action, mystery, western or some other episode in film genre. "Donnie Darko" is simultaneously none of these and a half-dozen of them.
Similar to but better than "Final Destination", "Donnie Darko" is the story of a psychotic high school kid that hallucinates what appears to be a malevolent rabbit that orders bad things to happen. Sometimes Donnie participates in these events and they always affect him.
The plot moves eerily in many directions from this premise, at various times approaching science fiction, horror, family drama, teen angst, comedy, adventure and school hijinks. Not all these types are equally well done and the film occasionally loses focus and direction.
An all-star cast -- Jake Gyllenhaal as Donnie, Drew Barrymore as a misunderstood teacher, Noah Wyle, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze and Mary McDonnell as Donnie's mom -- lends consistent credibility to this movie, which sometimes goes quite far afield to make its point.
The movie is full of surprises you don't expect. The ending is a cult classic and watch how moralist-weight loss-lifestyle expert Patrick Swayze -- who is cast wayyyy against type -- gets undressed later in the movie by an act of violence that offers an ironically satisfying twist.
Make no mistake, "Donnie Darko" is not a great film and will never make to the AFI 100. It is ultra-original and nearly impossible to categorize, however, and therein lies its interest.
I'm sure this was marketed to teens when it arrived in 2001 but its appeal is far broader; anyone bored with formulaic moviemaking should take in "Donnie Darko" to see how near the end of the box film can still move in the era of copycat prequel sequels

I loved Raj Kapoors "Mera Naam Joker". I loved the way Raj Kapoor's character develops, a simpleton with a big heart but at the end waht he gets is empty broken heart, he lives his life by giving away anything he has yet lives his life kingsize. That is what inspires me in this life.
