Neo
Fight
or any of those Matrix movies that also grew to be quite trendy with the know-nothing Playstation generation. Yeah, you read me right; I went there.
Donnie Darko was named 14th best on EW's "50 Best High School Movies" in the latest issue.
"There are funnier high school movies and ones with better soundtracks and more nostalgic value, but how many of those deal with time travel, alternate universes, fate, God, free will, therapy, censorship, teenage angst, falling airplane engines, pedophilia, and a scary freaking bunny? Point made. And while we still don't necessarily understand it all, few films deal so matter-of-factly with the sheer dread (both literal and metaphoric) of teen life."
