#  @ATRightMovies All The Right Movies 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. ### Engagements: [---------] [#](/creator/twitter::1419688307529818116/interactions)  - [--] Week [----------] -1.60% - [--] Month [----------] +1.70% - [--] Months [-----------] -42% - [--] Year [-----------] -55% ### Mentions: [---] [#](/creator/twitter::1419688307529818116/posts_active)  - [--] Week [---] +6.80% - [--] Month [-----] +12% - [--] Months [-----] +63% - [--] Year [-----] +60% ### Followers: [-------] [#](/creator/twitter::1419688307529818116/followers)  - [--] Week [-------] +0.13% - [--] Month [-------] +0.08% - [--] Months [-------] +0.54% - [--] Year [-------] +3.90% ### CreatorRank: [-----] [#](/creator/twitter::1419688307529818116/influencer_rank)  ### Social Influence **Social category influence** [celebrities](/list/celebrities) #1556 [travel destinations](/list/travel-destinations) 2.55% [countries](/list/countries) 2.25% [finance](/list/finance) 2.25% [automotive brands](/list/automotive-brands) #3876 [musicians](/list/musicians) 0.45% [stocks](/list/stocks) 0.3% [premier league](/list/premier-league) 0.15% [champions league](/list/champions-league) 0.15% [luxury brands](/list/luxury-brands) 0.15% **Social topic influence** [what is](/topic/what-is) #144, [the first](/topic/the-first) #416, [movies](/topic/movies) #46, [in the](/topic/in-the) #3598, [the great](/topic/the-great) #521, [the most](/topic/the-most) #1513, [whats the](/topic/whats-the) #111, [star](/topic/star) #1149, [character](/topic/character) #798, [future](/topic/future) #1114 **Top accounts mentioned or mentioned by** [@cinemaonthisday](/creator/undefined) [@grok](/creator/undefined) [@lisalisa](/creator/undefined) [@stevenjosephr](/creator/undefined) [@nostalgia150360](/creator/undefined) [@vicko_twitt](/creator/undefined) [@sabrinasab941](/creator/undefined) [@selvam_speaks](/creator/undefined) [@daniel_lewis2](/creator/undefined) [@yvette2540](/creator/undefined) [@charliebakerma](/creator/undefined) [@richa70876](/creator/undefined) [@amber_brad47658](/creator/undefined) [@zsabol](/creator/undefined) [@atondowsky](/creator/undefined) [@49ers_dude](/creator/undefined) [@styng](/creator/undefined) [@smc429](/creator/undefined) [@rachelle541350](/creator/undefined) [@decodeazevedo](/creator/undefined) ### Top Social Posts Top posts by engagements in the last [--] hours "Who was the greater Vito Corleone - DE NIRO or BRANDO" [X Link](https://x.com/ATRightMovies/status/1954890546662854990) 2025-08-11T13:00Z 919.8K followers, 169.7K engagements "Name a great movie directed by a woman" [X Link](https://x.com/ATRightMovies/status/1959616690448163006) 2025-08-24T14:00Z 919.9K followers, 748.6K engagements "After the film released the Salkinds fired Donner and replaced him with Richard Lester to finish Superman II even though Donner had shot 75% of it already.

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.
