So, this was a few weekends ago, but I was reading a "Best Movies of 2004" article, and the reviewer had these three movies in his top ten. We had gone to see The Incredibles in the theater, and rented Spiderman 2 and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind over the weekend.
You can't go wrong with any of the three. I have to say that the one that left me most affected was Eternal Sunshine. This is an amazing movie, amazing in that the writer and the director and the actors managed to pull it off. There's a crystallizing moment, right at the end, that just about blew my mind. All the timeshifting, all the effects, all the scripted-shenanigans... it turns out that, while I thought they were fun and cool for their own sake, kind of a "Wow, they actually pulled this off," thing... it turns out they were all leading up to this one point, this one... realization.
It was really pretty cool.
