25 Favorite Films: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

If there is one film that hits too close to home its Michel Gondry’s masterpiece. Granted, I did not get involved with a memory wiping company and lost the love of my life. But the emotional pain Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) goes through is so damn real despite the sci-fi elements involved. Not to get too personal but I fell in love with someone that is very similar to who Clementine (Kate Winslet) was. It was never meant to be but at the time I did not rationalize the failed romance as I did today. In fact this film came out very close to the time where this crush of mine made it very clear how she did not feel the same way. So you better believe this movie hit me emotionally at the time.
