Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

The smartest man my age that I ever met told me this was his favorite movie. This, along with the fact that all the reviews are positive and that I'd never seen a Gondry film meant it was a must watch. I was apprehensive though because I typically don't like a non-goofy Jim Carrey (see Truman Show).

2 Sentence or Less Review: This is a beautiful love story, but is also a smart and mind-bending trip. This is now my go-to movie with girls, in the sense that I'll watch it with them and if they a) ask what is going on too much, or b) don't like it, then that's a deal-breaker (yes it was that good).

Current Rank: 
1. Eternal Sunshine (I just really liked it, and as you'll see, it may change tomorrow)
2. The Graduate (Although it is not as re-watchable as The Big Chill, I recognize now it is more classic)
3. The Big Chill (Still a great buddy film)
4. Blow (It's not a bad movie, but will probably be on the bottom of this list for a while)
