Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is my favorite romantic-comedy because of it's dark mind-bending spin on the tired genre. Here, boy meets girl, not realizing he's already met her, loved her, and broken up with her. I won't give away more. Savor the twists and turns. This is from the mind of Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich") and director Michel Gondry ("Be Kind Rewind"), so a wild ride is promised and delivered. Cut through all the wild scripting, editing and reversals, and we have a wide-eyed, fresh take on love as a power that defies logic and human plans and faults. This film soars on and with heart and spirit. And some drugs, too. Jim Carrey, in his best role, and Kate Winslet, never cooler, are the odd couple. Glorious. And lovely. A+
