They Made Me Do It – Songs from Donnie Darko

Donnie Darko had some of best 80’s music.  In fact, if it hadn’t been for this film I would have continued to believe all my naive friends who claimed “there was no such thing as good music in the 80s.”  Here are a few songs from one of my favorite movie soundtracks.

Richard Kelly’s film Donnie Darko has one of the most well designed soundtracks of any movie.  There are tons of awesome 80’s songs throughout the film but the most moving sequence is set to “Mad World.”  Originally by Tears for Fears, Gary Jules took this 80’s track and turned it into something timeless.
