Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Fantastic melodrama about two lovers, one of whom decides to literally erase the memory of the other after their breakup. It's Jim Carrey's non-comedic role and a rare case where a Hollywood film was made without catering to mass tastes. Additionally, Kate Winslet flaunted her multi-colored hair long before it became mainstream.

The success, Oscar, and unique tone of «Eternal Sunshine» are at least partially attributed to our favorite screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman, a renowned intellectual and author of intricate screenplays such as «Being John Malkovich,» «Adaptation,» and «Synecdoche, New York.»
