dude- I thought "Being John Malcovich" was a crazy movie by Charlie Kaufman, but this movie was ten times as nutz. Tell me what you thought about it. I am definately going to buy it. If anyone wants to trade for xbox games i will. I know this isn't the trading forum but oh well. Anyone who likes far out movies like "Being John Malcovich" or any Stanley Kubrick movies would definately love this one.

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Made you keep thinking throughout the movie. By the end, my brain was tired.

fantastic movie. I like adaptation and malkovich as well but this is my favorite. it shows how certain people are naturally drawn to each other and how precious loving relationships are, most specifically ones that go sour.

im really glad you all appreciate it. I thought Malcovich was off the wall but this one is 10 times as intense. Why was adaptation so "normal" i guess you could say. I kinda liked it but not nearly as much as the other two. I think that it had something to do with adaptation not being funny. Is there any other Charlie Kuafman movies I need to know about.

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is good.

Adaptation wasn't normal. It was just about the most circular mvie I have ever seen. I thought Malkovich was the weirdest one. The others have been different, but Malkovich was just weird for the sake of weird. I thought that Eternal Sunshine was the perfect mix of oddness and nomarlness. And if Jim Carrey doesn't get nominated for best actor, I will be pissed.

Just watched it last night thanks to Netflix. Great movie, but I don't think I'll be adding it to my collection - not really one I could watch over & over. I did appreciate the point they were making tho, or rather the question they posed. If you knew at the beginning of a relationship everything that would go wrong, would you go ahead with it anyway?

Excellent film. Kate Winslett did a great job. I also think its Carrey's best role since Truman Show which completely kicked ass.

I loved this film as well. I found it was easy tot ell which time frame it was by winslets hair color. That helped me a lot to know what was flashbacks and what wasn't

I thought it was average..things I really liked, thing I didn't. I think that Adaptation and especially Malkovich is much better.

I really dug Eternal Sunshine. It was a new way to tell the age old story of boy meets girl, boys loses girl, boy gets girl back. Kaufman always finds new ways to bring an idea to life and you gotta love him for it.

I liked this movie, although one thought was in my mind throughout the entire movie: "Kate Winslett is not hot enough for this role".
