Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

281. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
-This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.
-I know.
-What do we do?
-Enjoy it.
Only once every few years do you get a combination of pure greatness that results in such a uniquely awesome work of cinematic perfection. Michel Gondry had never directed a feature length film, but he was an innovator of music videos. His refreshing look at directing captured the amazing talents of Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet with the solid base of pure quirkiness that is Charlie Kaufman's sci-fi/romance/comedy screenplay. This is the type of movie that makes me want to make films. I don't really think I would be overtly talented as a writer, director, or actor, but movies with this much creative emotional whallop simply invte the viewer into the experience to the extent that they truly wish they were a part of it.
