Donnie Darko. The first time I saw it was also one of the first times I got high and my mind was blown. Its incoherence in retrospect is a fair knock against it, but I'll take ersatz profundity until Hollywood delivers on the real thing to the extent of like a Beckett play for the first time ever. I'm still fond of Inception on similar grounds. Like, it's profundity as a consumer product that disappears after you inhale it and leaves you wanting more, whereas real insight just leaves you in tearful, inconsolate Buddhistic prayer for the suffering of the world soul. Sweeney Todd was just a loving great film even though Depp can't sing. I've gotten deeply skeptical friends to watch it and they came around.
