The cult classic film "Donnie Darko" is being discussed as it was released [--] years ago this week, launching Jake Gyllenhaal's career as a Hollywood star. The film's making is described as "out there" with interesting casting stories, including Gyllenhaal being mesmerized by the script and Maggie Gyllenhaal being hired after her agent sent her a tape of her drinking urine in another film. Patrick Swayze also played a role in the film, raiding his own wardrobe and frosting his hair for the part of motivational speaker Jim Cunningham.
