Time travel does not neccessarily science fiction make. The Once and Future King by T.H. White includes a time traveling character. Does that make it a science fiction book? Time travel in Donnie Darko is not presented in a scientific manner. It's presented more as a magical act. The book he reads is The PHILOSOPHY of Time Travel.

There's a vast difference in the way time travel is presented in Donnie Darko & The Time Machine. I love Donnie Darko- I just can't vote for it as sci fi.
