Donnie Darko
A jet engine drops through the roof of a Virginia house in October 1988 and misses the teenage son, who is out on the lawn because a figure in a rabbit suit woke him to say the world ends in twenty-eight days. He goes back to school, to therapy and to a new girl in his class while the countdown keeps reappearing. Kelly's debut flopped in cinemas and became the defining American cult film of the DVD era.
