First of all, this entry should have been published (or written) a year ago, when I first figured out about my favourite movie. I don't know if the fact of being a woman has anything to do with it... (i guess any guy will say yes eventhough they don't know... ) but I have always struggled to find my favourite stuff, meaning what do I enjoy the most. And that is really a problem because eventhough I always thought that chemical engineering was my thing, i sometimes wonder what would have happened if i had picked the other thing i thought of doing: History... well we will never know because I'm now a chemical engineer and a big one (meaning I'm already on the PhD... to turn back and study history).
Anyway, continuing with my point, I don't even know if I have some kind of hidden hobby which i haven't realised i have and that really grinds my gears :D I mean, everybody's got something that they enjoy to do, whether it's flying a kite, sailing a yacht or playing gitar... EVERYBODY!!!! except me of course, I can do many things but they're not my favourite things.
Anyway (again) realising which was my favourite movie kind of put me off from depressing because everybody knows their favourite things except me. And, in order to make this entry a little shorter, i'm just going to say the name:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
First of all the title, I mean who names a movie after some poet who maybe half of the world doesn't know, with the words of a poem which probably half of the movie groupies won't even care to read. (I actually don't understand the words... in the context)
Second. Who would have ever thought (before that movie) that Jim Carrey was actually a good dramatic actor
Third. If you want to have one of the best leading ladies, the choice is clear: Kate Winslet
Fourth. Why have a cheesy stupid love movie (comedy or drama) when you can have a complicated love story in which all the characters are a little wacko and play with the psyche of their co-actors?
Anyway, eternal sunshine rules!
And here comes the best part: why have just one favourite movie when you can have three? (except for the fact that you wanted to choose one?) Ok, having determined that choosing is not my thing, i decided to have a top 3 which are the movies that i consider the best of the best of the best (for me and my small moviewatcher experience). So, the other two are Dr Strangelove which I don't know why i thought it was hylarious (might have something to do with the fact that the Inspector from the pink panther appears on it) and The great dictator which somehow reminds me of my s.q.z (squeezy) brother.
So, again, i should be having one choice and sticking with it as my favourite movie, but then again, that wouldn't be very flexible would it?

I've always struggled to find things that I enjoy. Once a friend told me that it meant I was insecure, maybe, maybe not.
Anyway, I have known u for quite some time now and you are one of the persons which i find has a lot of favorite little hobbies, maybe you don't stick to one but you do have several of them. You enjoy cooking, you have told me of several books and literature you enjoy, you like football -you don't practice it but i know you enjoy playing and watching it. So you are diverse person which enjoys little pleasures in life.
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind is definitely one of my favourite movies -my kind of romantic film. I recommend you see The Science of dreams with the same director its really good.
Correction: The science of sleep is the title in English, the french title is "La Science des reves"
I was just seeing that movie some days ago, very cool... and you're right, who knew Mr. Carrey had it in him?
about the favourites bit, i think is part of the human spirit: deep down inside we like a lot of stuff, just deny it or ignore it to simplify things...
for love stories, i've always like Leon, The Professional... yeah, i'm a guy, i need exploding things and gunshots, hehe... no, really, it's a good movie with an interesting love story
First comes saying that Jim Carrey is a good actor, then you find yourself buying Justin Timberlake's album. Nah, kidding, quite a great, GREAT movie that is spread all over my blog as well (niceisgood). I love when Joel says: 'Why do I have to fall in love with any woman that shows me the least bit of attention?'. Folk! The story of my life, but with guys instead. Another great one is 'I (love) Huckabees' rather cookoo as well, specially with the poem to a rock: YOU ROCK, ROCK!
