Donnie Darko or Perfume: The Story of a Murderer? [Edit: thanks for responses :D]

Donnie Darko

Donnie Darko!

Same here

Any of them is a win.

Donnie Darko.

My personal opinion: Donnie Darko. The movie adaptation of Perfume was very mediocre despite it being an excellent book.

Perfume, if you know little about the story itself. This is a great movie to watch with others because of the "HOLY SHIT!" quotient...

However, if you know the story already, have read the book or have a group of friends who love to go over every detail of a movie, choose Donnie Darko.

DO NOT watch the directors cut of Donnie Darko. First of all, it murders the soundtrack, second of all, it takes away a lot of the atmosphere from the movie, by dumbing it down in some parts.

I didn't like Perfume at all.
Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Donnie Darko is sci-fi and very deep (if you saw 12 Monkeys, you understand it and you liked it, Donnie Darko is your movie), and Perfum is based on a excellent novell with a taste of Allan Poe in a bohemian Europe, is also deep, but not so much as Donnie Darko,.. Personally i recommend you boths, but see Donnie Darko and try to undertand it, and see Perfum with boy/girlfriend and/or family just for enjoying.

Both are pretty damn good, if you ask me.

Donnie Darko, and also I think Requiem for a Dream and Good Will Hunting is on Netflix.

Edit: If youre gonna watch Donnie Darko, watch the theatrical version first then Director's Cut.

Perfume the book is great, the movie not so much, though the plot is easier to digest compared to Donnie, so I'd choose Perfume for watching with buds.

Comparing the movies, Donnie is better, but the mood is a bit depressing.
