Ok, before I start off with the movie, I just want to know if there is anyone out there who is as much of a Jim Carrey fan as I am, as in has seen all of his movies at least 5 times each. My favorite might be The Truman Show, but I don't think I can pick a favorite out of all of his wonderful films.

Ok, on with the movie.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is probably the only romance movie that I like. It entertained me the whole way through, and usually when I try to watch movies like that on my computer, I always end up getting bored and going back to Netflix to find something more entertaining, so it says a lot that a romance movie is able to pull someone in that doesn't even like that genre.

"After learning that his mercurial ex-girlfriend, Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet), has undergone an experimental medical process to purge all memories of him, mild-mannered Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) opts for the same procedure. But during the operation, he decides he doesn't want to lose what's left of their relationship and tries to conceal her image in his memory cells. This quirky romantic comedy won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay."

I would give it 5/5 stars because I like the story, and it actually had some funny parts in it.

Anyone else seen it?

About time somebody talked about this movie. One of the only films I actually own. Something I've seen over and over, can quote from and shit like that.

Everyone in life has that "Clementine" character - Someone that you want to erase that came into our life.

I feel allot like Joel in the movie when I watch it. Like how my ex girlfriend Ally came into my life and pretty much planned out everything. She fucked my life up big time, I wanted to just forget about her. Anytime I think about Ally I watch this movie. In a strange way it's very therapeutic for me.

I recommend everyone on the planet to see it. Amazing movie.
