10) Donnie Darko

An exploration of time travel, existentialism, and teenage angst, Donnie Darko shares the same qualities as Nolan's Memento, which features a protagonist struggling to understand reality. Its dark nature and philosophical questioning are similar to Nolan's themes. The influence that Donnie Darko endures with today's pop culture audience has drawn new generations' interest in its use of science fiction and psychological thriller elements.
