Donnie Darko
Donnie seems like your average teenager - going to high school, riding his bike, making new friends. But when his newest friend, Frank, is imaginary and a six foot bunny with a metal mask that talks, his world is turned upside down as he learns that he’s possibly a conduit for inter-dimensional collapse.

Fantasia
It starts as a nice evening of classical music, there’s no plot - just eight musical numbers, some dancing mushrooms, flying horses, and a demon the size of a city block doing jazz hands on a mountaintop. Then a wizard mouse steals a janitor’s hat and creates a mop army that nearly drowns the orchestra. At one point, hippos wear tutus and perform Swan Lake. Fantasia is what happens when someone gives Beethoven, a paintbrush, and several buckets of hallucinogens to an animation studio. It’s like being hit in the face with a culture cannon loaded with ballet slippers, lava, and existential dread. The music? Beautiful. The visuals? Confusing. The experience? If a broom starts walking around, get yourself a Roomba.

Director Franc Roddam’s rough-edged film is a quintessential chronicle of youthful rebellion and turmoil, with Pete Townshend’s brilliant songs (including “I’ve Had Enough,” “5:15,” and “Love Reign O’er Me”) providing emotional support, and featuring Sting and Ray Winstone in early roles.

Will the rest of the troubled teens panic? Or go through the ultimate team building weekend only coming out with trauma, bite marks, and in one case, half a counselor - or possibly less (but we’re trying to stay positive and are rounding up)? Or will these teens come back rehabilitated enough to become productive members of society for Corporate America? Don’t do drugs kids.
