The series has been so successful that almost everyone in America and many more in the world know what the series is all about. Lost is a story of 48 passengers who are victims of a plane crash. The show continues with the journey of the crash-landed survivors and their struggles in making out of the ordeal alive.

This unclassifiable but stunningly original film obliterates the walls between teen comedy, science fiction, family drama, horror, and cultural satire–and remains wildly entertaining throughout. Jake Gyllenhaal (October Sky) stars as Donnie, a borderline-schizophrenic adolescent for whom there is no difference between the signs and wonders of reality (a plane crash that decimates his house) and hallucination (a man-sized, reptilian rabbit who talks to him). Obsessed with the science of time travel and acutely aware of the world around him, Donnie is isolated by his powers of analysis and the apocalyptic visions that no one else seems to share. The debut feature of writer-director Richard Kelly, Donnie Darko is a shattering, hypnotic work that sets its own terms and gambles–rightfully so, as it turns out–that a viewer will stay aboard for the full ride. –Tom Keogh

5 Stars Amazon might have wrong listing or different version
I went to best buy today and this release is not only a 2 disc release(amazon says 1 disc), but also has both the director’s cut and the regular version of the movie so Amazon’s listing is either wrong, not updated or they have a different version.
5 Stars Director’s Cut is waaay Underrated
What’s NOT to like about it? For me, the DC is far better than the original. Some scenes cut from the original are simple but very emotional and should have never left the movie in the first place. The soundtrack is just the way the director had originally intended and they had more time to work with the special effects.
And well, yes, the original movie is far more “open” to interpretation, but that isn’t necessarily a good thing. As for me, I liked to know what the director’s idea for what was behind the events that happened in the movie was.
DD:DC is one of my favorite movies EVER.
5 Stars Genius
What can one say about Donnie Darko ?
It’s pure genius plus one of the biggest Mind [...] of any movie I have ever seen.
The soundtrack alone is worth watching it over and over .
Jake Gyllenhaal gives a performance that is not only Oscar worthy but well crafted beyond his years.
The whole cast is amazing as well.
I have dealt with the schizophrenic mind first hand what most people don’t realize is most people with this disorder are highly highly intelligent and some are genius’s.
You can be speaking to a schizophrenic and they’re right on scope and displaying these highly intelligent qualities then out of the blue they’re mind makes a left turn and where it leads from that point can be anything from Frank the bunny to the CIA chasing them.
This is why Donnie Darko works so well and the whole ambiguous atmosphere is apropos.
if you want to view something light that doesn’t make you think this movie is not for you.
I guarantee if you watch this movie with an open mind and clear your emotional pallet beforehand
it will stay with you forever.
4 Stars Not the director’s cut?
I love this movie, I love the theatrical version, but I really love the Director’s Cut! I am disappointed that the Blu-Ray release does not have the longer version on it, which I feel is a much more complete movie.
5 Stars Top 100 movies of all time
I’ve never seen a movie like this. The movie has a beautiful aspect (especially the end). And there are a few chuckles as well. Contrary to the more critical commentary, there is depth and complexity to the story that kind of requires you to see it more than once. I’m no genius, but what I gathered the basis of Donnie Darko to be is about our part in the deliberate DESIGN of our destiny, and I catch more each time I watch it.
Regardless of anything, sincere thought and expression went in to the making of Donnie Darko. Mixed with skill and technical ability = Art.
A WORK OF ART! In the top 100 movies of all time in my opinion.
Cary Grant’s penultimate feature before retirement was this cheerful 1964 effort to overturn his career-long image of urbane sophistication. As the unshaven, messy misanthrope Walter Eckland, a World War II-era beach bum who monitors Japanese air activity for the Australian navy in exchange for booze, Grant makes a convincingly hard-bitten, hard-drinking antihero. Until, that is, a pretty French schoolmistress (Leslie Caron) and her seven little charges (all girls) survive a nearby plane crash and invade Eckland’s raunchy isolation. Directed by 1960s hit-maker Ralph Nelson (The Lilies of the Field, Charly), Father Goose is a glossy comedy that also does justice to its more suspenseful scenes (a deadly snakebite suffered by Caron’s character is especially memorable) and leaves plenty of room for Grant to indulge in some entertaining if atypical screen behavior. All in all, this is a minor treat in the actor’s magnificent filmography. –Tom Keogh

5 Stars My husbands favorite Cary Grant movie
I don’t know how many times we watched this movie. It never gets old to my husband though. He loves it. I think it’s okay. Cary Grant has a hard, insensitive personality in this film. I guess I prefer him to be Suave and more romantic. But it is funny. Any Cary Grant lover will like this movie.
5 Stars “Married?….Goody two-shoes and the Filthy Beast?”
For those of you that aren’t familiar with this movie. It is a fun, entertaining, well-paced movie that everyone can enjoy. This was Cary Grant’s next to the last movie, and I think his best. He is in top form as Walter Eckland a social-recluse who’s oblivious to the WWII events taking place around him. Having divorced himself from society, his philosophy is: “If the world can’t learn to get along, they’ll have to do it without me”. Trevor Howard plays the British naval commander with the code name “Big Bad Wolf”. To avoid having his “$200 yacht” confiscated, Cary is forced to “volunteer” into the coast-watching service and assume the radio code-name “Mother Goose”. The interplay between these two old pros, Trevor and Cary is great to watch. Also a great scene when Cary tries to teach Leslie Caron how to fish: “Quiet,here she comes.” “How do you know it’s a she?” “Her mouth is open, now be quiet!” Great chemistry between the two and very funny! A charming movie the whole family can enjoy. Highly recommended!
5 Stars Better than I remembered
Father Goose is a delightful movie. It is pure entertainment for those who like romantic comedies - no big underlying message just fun.
5 Stars One of Cary Grants best!
This WWII story is a classic. Cary Grant is an easy comedian in this relaxed story of “old drinking codger” vs. “uptight french school teacher” played by Leslie Caron.
I watched it years ago and now on DVD, its not to be missed esp if you are a Cary Grant fan. The storyline is good and keeps your interest even if it is predictable.
For kids and grown up alike. Most enjoyable. My family watches it over and over.
5 Stars Great gift
I got this for my father for Christmas—the wrapping paper was barely off of it before it was in the DVD player! A great film showing a very different Cary Grant.
In the aftermath of the plane crash, the Hunter’s tactics sow the seeds of war.
