The ending of Donny Darko was crap. He killed his past self, essentially stopping the events of the film from ever happening, rendering the entire plot irrelevant. They may as well have said 'Then he woke up and it was all a dream'.

I think you may have misunderstood what was happening there. Of course, that is completely not your fault. That film's plot was fucking incomprehensible. The Director's Cut explains more, but it is nowhere near as good.
It's one of the few films that I've seen that made the major events intentionally vague and indecipherable that I could say that I liked by the end. It's not the great achievement in cinema that some make it out to be. Neither is it the giant turd that others say it is. The characters and dialogue were of a quality that made the plot mostly irrelevant, and I can still enjoy it on that level.
