• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind directed by Michel Gondry (2004)

  [7/10]

  "Aside from the medical and ethical questions, Eternal Sunshine explores the nature of attraction and the development of relationships. It asks whether a natural attraction exists between two people. Clearly, the writers believe so, since Joel and Clementine feel drawn to each other repeatedly."

• Memento directed by Christopher Nolan (2001)

  [9/10]

  "The genius of Memento lies not in Leonard's condition, but in the telling. To punctuate Leonard having no direct recollection of the past, director Christopher Nolan plays out Leonard's story in reverse."

  Average score: 8.00
