   stevegoz says Preferred the Tears for Fears original, though I'm not all that big on it either way. Need to watch the movie again some time....

   ray4389 says Yes Donnie Darko is my faveorite movie, but note that the directors cut uses a diffferent intro song that the original, which is I believe called the Killing Moon, or something on those lines.

   democlez says I love this song as well. I've read that the original Tears For Fears version was set to more upbeat music because it was meant to be ironic, a fact that is lost on the Gary Jules version. More about the song can be found "here":http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=4381 . The Red Paintings have also covered this song, you can download it off "their website":http://www.theredpaintings.com/v2/mp3s.htm .

   ray4389 says I actually enjoy both versions, and each has it's own strong points depending on it's usage, but outside of the movie I enjoy Tears for Fears better.
