Which do you like better?
I forgot to say that I like Donnie Darko better.
Donnie Darko!
I can’t stop thinking about all the people that died when those buildings blew up in the end of Fight Club, I mean the buildings were empty they said, but cars on the streets, and surrounding buildings, there must have been thousands of casualties, and for what? So that Edward Norton, and his tostesterone pumped gang could have a purpose, and clear everybody’s credit card debt? He beat his inner demons (Brad Pitt), but the buildings still blew up, and didn’t Edward want to stop that? and he didn’t! I thought he would put an end to the plan, and end his gang which was a creation of Brad Pitt, who was the evil guy. That is why I didn’t like Fight Club better than Donnie Darko, because of the ending
If I got something wrong about the ending, somebody please correct me. I only saw it once.
Donnie Darko fit together so perfectly, and has an amazing plot, and if you haven’t seen it yet you must!

Donnie Darko
Both movies were very good, both very psycological with great plots. Personally the author of fight club Chuck P. is a VERy good author, but the movie didn’t hit me like Donnie Darko did. I never loved a movie so much since Dr. Strangelove and Citizen Kane
Once again I forgot to say that I also loved Fight Club, but donnie dark is still better.
hrmm
Well, I will have to go with of the ole “I like them equally”.
They are both awesome in their own way.
Aargh… That’s a really tough choice.
Two of my favorite films.
I think I’m going to have to be different (again), and say I liked Fight Club better. The twist near the end was awesome, completely didn’t see it coming.
Hmm, not that the way Donnie Darko ended was any worse.
Aargh.
Re: Donnie Darko!
Yeah I was also pretty disappointed with the ending. The book’s ending was completely different, and a lot better I think. I don’t know why they didn’t end the movie that way, it wouldn’t have been hard to do. They probably felt like they had to blow something up in the end to make it appeal to an American audience.
Both are awesome movies though. They screw with your head. Kinda makes you feel a little insane yourself when its over, kinda makes you question reality.
But in the end, I vote Donnie Darko. If for no other reason than its set sorta local to the HoW gang, and because the big bunny’s name is Frank (like his father before him).

Oooh, there’s a book with a different ending?
Time to go find it 
Am I the only one who’s never heard of Donnie Darko?
As far as I’m aware, Donnie Darko was never really a “big” movie in the way that Fight Club was. People were made aware of it through word of mouth only.
There was a lot of talk about it on the net a while back if you hung around the right places, but I don’t think anyone I know irl has mentioned it to me.
Donnie is the best movie i’ve seen in a long time, where as I found fight club a bit much ( I can still see how ppl would like it but i didnt)
AGHHHHHHHHH!!!
blows head off with shotgun
you SOB… NOT cool…
I don’t mean this to be an insult but is there anyone here over the age of, say 35, who has an opinion about Donnie Darko? I have never even heard of it and while I’m not as bad as this, I’m wondering if this is an age thing.
I’m familiar with Fight Club, even though I’ve not seen it.

ive never heard of it either
Donnie Darko probably isn’t widely known, people who haven’t heard of it certainly aren’t in the minority
http://us.imdb.com/Business?0246578
58 screens for the USA (compared with 1963 for Fight Club).
It’s certainly not a kid’s film.
Thanks. I didn’t realize those stats were available at the IMDb. Very cool.
I didn’t mean kids as in PG type stuff, but mostly young adults a generation or so removed from us 40 somethings. But those screen figures explain a lot.

My dad is 50 and he loves it. It is certainly not a movie for just kids. It has an amazing plot and will make you think for days. It is also extremely confusing, so you have to watch it multiple times. Trust me you will love it.

I will have to change my answer.
Donnie Darko all the way
