10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is insightful because it explores how memories, even the painful ones, shape who we are. Joel (Jim Carrey) is heartbroken after his breakup with Clementine (Kate Winslet) and decides to erase her from his memory. But as the memories fade, he realizes he doesn’t want to let go. Directed by Michel Gondry in 2004, this mind-bending, bittersweet film shows that love isn’t always perfect, but it’s worth remembering.
