CLASSIC MOVIE SCENE - #5 - Donnie Darko - 'Head over Heels'
I was heavily into 'Songs from the Big Chair' with 'Head Over Heels' probably one of my favourites tunes of all time. I can probably remember coming in to school with this very song playing on my brick sized Walkman, before getting it confiscated by a teacher and/or a bully. Despite being a film about time travel and parallel universes, this is where the parallels end for me, as much to my wife's dismay, I'm more Brian 'get-out-and-sit-in-the-hall' than Jake Gyllenhaal. Never mind, I felt the song captured the era perfectly and the slow-mo camera work is a nice touch in what was a very memorable scene in a fantastic, if a little bizarre, film.

for the record my favourite song right now is the Elvis' Tomorrow is a Long time. Country cool.
PStar, thanks. The funny how time flies lyric at the end always gets me as I can remember first listening to this song some 20 years ago. Frightening!
