Donnie Darko (10th Anniversary Edition)

There are legions of fans out there who absolutely worship Donnie Darko, a strange tale of a troubled young man (Jake Gyllenhaal) and the imaginary rabbit named Frank who tells him to do some terrible things. Directed by Richard Kelly, it wasn’t exactly a box office smash when it come out in 2001, but it’s developed a cult following of people who really do believe that ‘cellar door’ is the most beautiful phrase ever written. This deluxe package is the perfect opportunity for them to revel in all things Darko, since it contains the original version of the movie, an extended director’s cut and hours and hours of extras for them to rejoice in. The good news is that it also gives the uninitiated a chance to see what all the fuss is about, Ten years later, Darko may not be a great movie, but it sure is one heck of a ride.
