Meh. I still prefer my scary giant bunnies and vehicular violence inexplicable and untidy, à la David Lynch. All the gorgeous Gyllenhaals in the Universe couldn’t save Donnie Darko from feeling precious and contrived, the far side of ripe. Yet, this second time through, I experienced undeniable fondness for the Gyllenhaal pumpkin-carving moment, and the “Notorious” Sparkle Motion dance.

Long after I flunk out of SLIFR U, Dennis assigns a movie quiz I manage to answer! Via Facebook (or How to Kill a Saturday Real Good):
Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen movies you’ve seen that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me because I’m interested in seeing what movies my friends choose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note – upper right hand side.)
These films are truly the first fifteen that came to mind, and quickly (in less than five minutes, thanks, no doubt, to the two shots of espresso with breakfast). Subsequently organized by era and annotated. (more…)
