14. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Director: Michael Gondry
Year: 2004
Actors: Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo
Plot: A very abstract love story in which a man has his memory erased only to realize as it happens that he no longer wants to do it... The story blends both the past and the present and can be interpreted in many ways.
Music: Great score by Jon Brion... It's got a modern psychedelic sound to it with many unique instruments....
Why:

• Interesting and creative concept, to be able to erase one's memory.
• Very abstract filming by Michael Gondry... it's a movie you can watch over and over again, and always catch something new
• Great acting chemistry by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet
• Chilled artsy soundtrack by Jon Brion

Key Moment: As the final memory is erased, and the cabin on the lake begins to collapse, Carrey explains why he left when he first met her... Kate Winslet then tells him to stay with her, and to meet him in Montauk....
