1. Donnie Darko (2001)

This film is incredibly important to me. The way it blended so many amazing genres into a clever and original plot along with its killer 80s soundtrack and beautiful cinematography made it (in my opinion) the best movie ever made. It stared as a psychotic thriller with elements of Comedy, Coming-of-age, and Sci-Fi. I fell in love with characters and clever plot and that paired with the witty social commentary on the world around teenagers and the split between the supposed 'sane' and 'insane' made this film something I still watch again and again.
