Donnie Darko
all the characters have so much color and they feel so chippy and real. part of what influences what I love so much about the film is the time period, a film shot in 2000, taking place in the 80s. I just envy movies where I see there's no phones at all really, and maybe I need to watch more of them.
and after donnie darko establishes this fun world, the actual plot is so unique, gritty, and weird but so cool. I love halloween. this is my favorite halloween movie.
