6) Donnie Darko (2001)

Featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Donnie Darko is a psychological sci-fi thriller. This movie is about a teenager who has visions about escaping a jet engine crash. This movie draws upon the Multiverse Theory and the Alternate Realities notions to create an intellectually stimulating plot. Moreover, it combines mental health with these scientific issues and also presents themes of existentialism. When this movie was released, it wasn't a commercial hit, but with time it has developed a massive following and has become a classic, that only pseudo-intellectuals can talk about.
