Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is my favorite movie for several reasons. Jim Carrey is my favorite actor and Kate Winslet is my favorite actress, both of whom star in this movie. I love fantasy/science-fiction, as long as it doesn't start going over the edge of what is known to be possible in reality. This movie is mostly a romance with equal parts drama and comedy, which mixes well with it's fantasy/science fiction aspects.

The film is non-linear, but not so much that it's hard to keep track of. Most importantly for me, the movie has a good ending; I can't stand stories without good endings unless it is a factual account of an event. Reality is disturbing enough. If I wanted to be upset and depressed, I would just watch the news. Also, no one dies in this film. I've never been able to understand why writers kill off characters for no reason. This may add to the drama, but again, I have enough drama in my life. I don't need any more when my objective is to relax.

I think Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet have great chemistry together which really adds to the charm of this movie. Their unusual love story is a very touching one, and it gave me much to contemplate, especially since I have yet to find my own love story. In my opinion, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a wonderful, unique film and this is why I consider it my best flick ever.
