I found it to be a great movie but after watching it a few times and hearing the commentary tracks it begins to lose a lot of its appeal and seems more and more flawed and pointlessly confusing. But that's just my two cents.
It has also, much to my chagrin, become one of those overhyped-college-think-you're-watching-something-better-than-you-are movies, along with such other films as Scarface, Resevoir Dogs, Fight Club, and others. Films that are very good but because all the other pretty people like them so much they begin to lose some appeal, at least to me they do.
Donnie Darko being especially annoying as the emo kids seem particularly fond of it.
