The scene where the car is driving away from the memory towards the end, probably one of my favourite shots in cinema. So creative so interesting and it feels exactly like how dreams feel, whilst having allot of narrative melancholy.
The fact Joel has never heard of "Oh My Darling" in the present, that even us audience members recognize that is later explained that he tried to hide her in an old memory with that song was deleted. Brilliant moment
This is easily one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. It both breaks and warms my heart simultaneously, and one of the few movies I will always rewatch. This movie also made me fall in love with Kate Winslet, and I'm still upset to this day that Jim Carey didn't get at least an Oscar nomination for his role.
My favorite film of all time. Even when I describe plot points, moments or visuals from the movie to someone who hasn't seen it or ironically doesn't remember it, I get chills or get choked up every time. And the end of the film is absolutely perfect. It's so rare for a film or any type of art to be so stimulating or engaging on an intellectual level, while simultaneously being emotionally rich and very entertaining. So beautifully acted. Brilliant mind-blowing visuals. Gorgeous film score AND soundtrack. The story rewards multiple viewings. Eternal Sunshine is as close to perfect as a movie can be on every level, for me.
True. I wish he'd gotten more roles like "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". How he wasn't nominated for an Academy Award three times is mind-boggling to me. But I also enjoy his comedy work (not everything, but part of it).
You couldn't be in your mid 20's at the time and not love this movie and/or have a Clementine in your life. Great movie, this series will make me rewatch a lot of stuff!
So true. Who was your Clem? Literally a year before I saw this movie, a girl came into my life who was very much like Clementine. Very open, very spur the moment, very random lol However, I was very much like Joel, very reserved, very by the book, very boring. lol But somehow she was attracted to me and I was attracted to her. Unfortunately, (unlike Joel who actually decided to take a chance with her, regardless of if it would end badly for them,) I ultimately rejected her advances. I wonder every day what it could have been like had I taken a chance like Joel did with Clem, especially since I saw this movie 1 year after that encounter with her. Wish I wudda seen it 1 year BEFORE the encounter with her, and maybe things wudda been different :/
Gondry and Kaufman were at their best together. This movie is their peak. I hope they find a way to work together again. Gondry brings a childlike delight and whimsy to Kaufman's angst. He makes would could be heavy and dark seem light and amusing
Still my favorite movie, 20 years later. Has everything you want in a movie. Cool concept, stunning visuals, mind-bending story, interesting characters, emotional weight, complex ending, memorable score, etc.
Shame that Jon Brion's soundtrack wasn't covered here but to hear the trivia and discussion of one of my favourite films of all time was a treat, many thanks for taking the time!
Every character had a theme, including their emotions, and frame of mind, + memories The flow of each song felt like a dj scratching to each track, it plays then shifts in tone (similar to the sound style in Lost, and Spider-Man: ITSV)
I’m loving this format! Just an in-depth look into a great movie and it covers everything that I subscribe to Cinefix for. Really looking forward to seeing the remaining 98.
Dear Viewer, Clint, Cal and Alex, hosts of The CineFix Top 100, have had the ranking of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind erased from their memories. Please never mention where the film fits into the Top 100 again. Thank you, Lacuna
A stand out scene for me is the books disappearing at the store. I think the music combines with the visual to perfectly remind me of every dream I've struggled to remember.
This was a trippy movie experience. I loveeee the score/music choices I had not yet experienced grownup heartbreak and I couldn’t fathom the need/desire to erase someone off my brain. A couple years later and my first relationship dead and buried, I got this movie on another level
so true! I had the same experience it hits different once you realize it's about as much about the person as it is erasing the heartbreak you want to go away
Eternal Sunshine is tbh...I think my personal favorite movie, truly a fantabulous piece of cinema that leaves you a different person. Absolutely phenomenal and spellbinding.
Jim Carrey wasn’t playing a boring character, he was playing a repressed character. The reason it works so well is because the intensity was there just ROILING beneath the surface but he (Joel, the character) was forced by his own hang ups and mental illness to tamp it down and be a caged animal to the world. Jim, the actor was going through it real time for the sake of the movie. The result was magic on screen.
The best in camera effect for me is the way they moved the set around during the fight where Joel follows Clem into the bathroom and she's not there, he turns around and she's walking down the hall, and by the time he takes the three steps out of the bathroom, she's closing the door as she leaves from the other side of the apartment where we last saw her. The performances are excellent, but Kate is doing truly brilliant work. She plays three different versions of Clementine (before Lacuna IRL, Joel's memory perception of her, and post Lacuna IRL) and there are slight subtleties between all three. Every time I watch it, even after 20 years, I catch new things in her performance and how she differentiates the three versions.
I didn't look at it as a happy ending. I saw it more as a tragedy. These were two people that failed at being in a relationship together, and now they're going to repeat the doomed relationship all over again from the beginning. It's not like a couple getting back together again, and knowing THIS time what to do/not to do. They should be moving on, and not be stuck in a repeating loop of failure.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a rare movie where everything that could go wrong (casting in unusual roles, mix of genres, extremely low budget, very little story) ends up going amazingly right. I think that Kaufman's script and the performances have a lot to do with the success of this film. But the great credit goes to Gondry and his excellence in creating practical effects with the smallest resources. After this, he came to São Paulo and I was lucky enough to participate in one of his workshops. We could play filmmakers using his creative props (something like the characters in Be Kind Rewind). That experience was inspiring and, above all, insanely fun
This is definitely one of my favorite movies ever, and probably the one I've rewatched the most. And I have to agree with Clint, it's brilliantly written, and I love the performances, but what makes it really unique is the visuals, MVP has to go to Gondry.
ESOTSM is actually my favorite movie of all time. Its very underrated here IMHO😎 Great cast, inventive concept and execution. I have a list of about 20 or 25 in my head. Only 1,2 and 3 are definite. Christopher Walken dancing his way through the hotel in Weapon of Choice was Spike Jones.
Agreed that the visual moments from ESOTSM are what last: The do it yourself science props The collapsing house The disappearing book titles The walk from the bookstore to the living room The lights in the rooms and aisles blinking off The car falling from the sky The Gods-eye shot of stargazing The conversation under the translucent quilt The forced perspective under the kitchen table The snow on the beach The final loop and fade
Enjoyed the vid-cast, but I think in a film that overflows the subtext bucket you perhaps missed the sub-subtext and the reason the film has had (and will have) such staying power. Not to be too old-man-shakes-fist-at-cloud, but perhaps your current stage of life - or the stage you were in when you first saw the film - caused you to concentrate on the relationship, when really there's a more universal theme going on. As we age we start to lose our memories and in the worst case, it is precipitated by illness such as Alzheimers. It's a battle we will all face, whether or not we consult Lacuna Inc. In that way, Joel is an archetype for those of use that are losing our memories, the thing we cling to that makes us who we are, while Clementine represents our loved ones that must bear the brunt of being forgotten. I think that's why 20 years on we're talking about this film rather than "Million Dollar Baby," and will continue to do so in another twenty years. Thanks for listening.
Charlie Kaufman’s least dysphoric script as the kids call it. I gotta give it to Clint, I think of baby Joel under the table before I think of an acting moment
The entire baby Joel under the table segment was such a delightful combination of ‘sick and twisted’ and poignant and hilarious. Clementine’s reaction to her clothes in that scene was so spot on. I wish i could take it with me🖖
For me this movie did not have a happy ending. These two were not meant for each other. Without the memory of their relationship, neither character is able to learn and grow and is fated to repeat the same mistakes. Love this movie!
Despite this being a podcast, I couldn't stop hanging to every word so I couldn't listen to it while doing other things. It's just entertaining to listen to the breakdown and the most polite disagreement about opinions on movies. Also, absolutely appreciate having Alex in this mix because she's so enthusiastic and I felt a kindred spirit when she mentioned Tumblr. The fact that each person takes turn being the minority opinon is also so funny, you three are such a great balanced hosts!
I think Clint is off base on the "who wins" question. The reason people come back to this movie isn't the quirky visuals (though they're fun of course), it's the performances and the highly relatable high-concept
A really beautiful movie. I had never seen it, and this is not at all what I thought the movie was about. It shows humanity's willingness to knowingly make bad decisions, and also how far they're willing to go for love.
Always been a fan of this channel, was excited for this series but couldn't stand the audio in the first episode. Glad this seems to have been fixed! Looking forward to watching.
Agree with Clint that the direction and writing are more important to its effectiveness than the performances. It needs to be small scale and shot the way it is in order to keep it intimate and in Joel's mind. But at the same time it needs the slickness of knowing how to shoot for the effects. I'm sure the script gets you there to some extent. But it's the director that solidifies it. Not to mention Gondry's work with the actors. He's got to get some credit for knowing when to do another take, when to give notes, or when it's good enough to move on.
A movie showing up on everyone's list should HEAVILY weigh in it's favor. Independence Day could have been the 101st movie on someone's list or the 1001st movie; exclusion from one or more lists should serve as a big penalty. I'm surprised Independence Day made it, even with Clint's high ranking.
really good watch...love what you guys do...how bout jon brion doing the music score? it doesn't carry the heavy weight the visual effects are doing but boy does it hit you hard at times....just love what he does with this film, adds so much.
Just had a fun segment thought, for the movies that are so stacked it's hard to pick an MVP... play "Movie Jenga" instead. Which actor/director/writer is the most prominent piece you could remove WITHOUT the whole thing toppling over?
Recommendation for lo-fi sci-fi movies: Primer. also, ofcourse, love ESOTSM so much. one of my personal all time favourite movies ever. easily top 10, if not top 5.
8:48 i think this is a total misunderstanding of the movie. Its not hopeful, theyre doomed to repeat their same mistakes and never progress, which is tragic. Just like tom Wilkins character and kirsten dunst. The heart of the movie is the opposition of the two quotes. People who think this movie ends hopeful agree with neitche. But i think koffman is leaning toward the alexander pope side.
It's not impossible to forget. I know I saw it, but without prompting, I couldn't tell you any details about it, other than "dude uses sci-fi to erase his memory".
I think Groundhog Day should count as lo-fi-sci-fi, unless you wanna put it fully into fantasy box. Also Isaac Asimov's work could fit, but there hasn't been many movie adaptions.
I love how this movie is interpreted differently by men and women. Women think it’s all Joel’s fault and he’s an insensitive loser and men think it’s all Clementine’s fault and she’s an emotional basketcase who needs medication. In reality, both are true…and false. That’s what happens when you have characters written like human beings and not rom com plot devices.
Lo-Fi Sci-Fi : Explorers (1985) Strange Days (1995) Weird Science (1985) Tank Girl (1995) My Science Project (1985) Johnny Mnemonic (1995) Project Almanac (2015) Primer (2004) See You Yesterday (2019) Clockstoppers (2002) Honey I Shrunk The Kids (1989) Steamboy (2004)
I feel very differently about the ending. I don't find it hopeful, not really. I feel like these characters are doomed, in a way, to repeat their failed relationship, failure and all.
JMO... you guys need to lay down some better/consistent structure on how you run through these film - or better details in the notes with specific time stamps for each section... sorry, I can't just commit to 1 hour per, for 100 films...
Imma get hate but this movie just try’s WAY too hard to be complicated and cleaver and cool. It feels like when Black Mirror just is trying soooo hard to blow your mind and it has the opposite affect by the end of it. Yes Jim Carey did great in a serious role and yes I get the deeper meanings and nuances but did nobody else get the feeling that the whole movie just try’s to be overly complicated as like a gimmick almost. It serves the story but it feels actually the other way around as if the story is just an excuse to try to confuse and disorient the viewer in hopes too gain popularity or awards. Good for one rewatch so that you can catch the things you missed but after that it isn’t a meaningful or enjoyable rewatch.
Thought I was the only one who was iffy about it. I'm a psych major and the plot felt something like I SHOULD like but maybe what did it for me was the cinematography. The indie-like camera work just isn't my cup of tea. The quality felt like a soap opera you can watch from a bus ride (in my place at least). I also didn't feel any empathy towards the couple, yes they're not meant to be the most pleasing characters but I felt like in a way I should be rooting for them. But I wasn't; the ending stresses me out coz oh gawd they have to go sht all over again js for it to be doomed. The only thing that interests me about the movie is Elijah Wood's creep character and how someone could take advantage of that kind of technology. I thought it would be ironic (but interesting) if Mark Ruffallo also did it to Kirsten Dunst despite being so disgusted few scenes earlier but that side story still went well either way. Overall, I wouldn't rewatch the movie.

I wish I could erase this film from my mind just so I can watch it for the first time all over again.
i see what you did there...
I had to watch it like 5 times to get it all. That just sounds exhausting now.
An absolutely beautiful movie
The scene where the car is driving away from the memory towards the end, probably one of my favourite shots in cinema. So creative so interesting and it feels exactly like how dreams feel, whilst having allot of narrative melancholy.
@@expressrobkill It gives you so many emotions

👌👏Meet Me in Montauk
This film convinced me that Jim Carrey should do far more serious roles as he is a great actor..
@@maxtubb8560true but is equally great as an actor in serious roles
True. I wish he'd gotten more roles like "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". How he wasn't nominated for an Academy Award three times is mind-boggling to me. But I also enjoy his comedy work (not everything, but part of it).

Nicholas Cage as David Cross's character would have worked. "I'm building a BIRDHOUSE!"
I looooove listening to Clint! Smart guy, knows his shit, has good taste AND a good voice! What a joy to hear him ramble about movies lol
Gondry and Kaufman were at their best together. This movie is their peak. I hope they find a way to work together again.
Gondry brings a childlike delight and whimsy to Kaufman's angst. He makes would could be heavy and dark seem light and amusing

Have you figured out their algorithm?

Clint, Cal and Alex, hosts of The CineFix Top 100, have had the ranking of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind erased from their memories. Please never mention where the film fits into the Top 100 again.
Thank you,

Top 10 movie of all time for me
Top 10 for me too, but disappointed you didnt consider Nic Cage as Clementine.
Didn't know PedroPascal was hosting the show
Fuck you, evil company, it's at 14
Clint proves here he knows his stuff like few others
A stand out scene for me is the books disappearing at the store. I think the music combines with the visual to perfectly remind me of every dream I've struggled to remember.
This was a trippy movie experience. I loveeee the score/music choices
I had not yet experienced grownup heartbreak and I couldn’t fathom the need/desire to erase someone off my brain. A couple years later and my first relationship dead and buried, I got this movie on another level

Jim, the actor was going through it real time for the sake of the movie. The result was magic on screen.
Why does Pedro Pascal's voice sound so weird? 😂
Damn! These are so good. Listened to the Independence Day one and this one back to back. So this is a 2-year project? I am here for it.
Fun Fact: The scene on the train when Kate Winslet punches Jim Carrey was not staged nor planned, and Carrey's response is that of genuine surprise.
The best in camera effect for me is the way they moved the set around during the fight where Joel follows Clem into the bathroom and she's not there, he turns around and she's walking down the hall, and by the time he takes the three steps out of the bathroom, she's closing the door as she leaves from the other side of the apartment where we last saw her.
The performances are excellent, but Kate is doing truly brilliant work. She plays three different versions of Clementine (before Lacuna IRL, Joel's memory perception of her, and post Lacuna IRL) and there are slight subtleties between all three. Every time I watch it, even after 20 years, I catch new things in her performance and how she differentiates the three versions.
This is the only movie ive ever seen where I said to myself out loud "i don't want this movie to end"
ONE FULL HOUR?! WHAT A TREAT
I didn't look at it as a happy ending. I saw it more as a tragedy.

Agreed that the visual moments from ESOTSM are what last:
The do it yourself science props
The collapsing house
The disappearing book titles
The walk from the bookstore to the living room
The lights in the rooms and aisles blinking off
The car falling from the sky
The Gods-eye shot of stargazing
The conversation under the translucent quilt
The forced perspective under the kitchen table
The snow on the beach
The final loop and fade
This takes me back to the old cinefix roundtable days. Great to see the similar format back
This is what I have waited for from this channel!
Enjoyed the vid-cast, but I think in a film that overflows the subtext bucket you perhaps missed the sub-subtext and the reason the film has had (and will have) such staying power. Not to be too old-man-shakes-fist-at-cloud, but perhaps your current stage of life - or the stage you were in when you first saw the film - caused you to concentrate on the relationship, when really there's a more universal theme going on. As we age we start to lose our memories and in the worst case, it is precipitated by illness such as Alzheimers. It's a battle we will all face, whether or not we consult Lacuna Inc.

Love this movie!
100%
Despite this being a podcast, I couldn't stop hanging to every word so I couldn't listen to it while doing other things. It's just entertaining to listen to the breakdown and the most polite disagreement about opinions on movies. Also, absolutely appreciate having Alex in this mix because she's so enthusiastic and I felt a kindred spirit when she mentioned Tumblr. The fact that each person takes turn being the minority opinon is also so funny, you three are such a great balanced hosts!
The power of this movie relies much more on the visuals, rather than the performances. That is why Gondry is more important to this movie.

I laughed so hard at the 44:59 mark, because someone farted. Sorry just needed to mention.
I’m excited for the next episode! You guys are awesome!
Sounds like Dan made his first appearance...
I've seen this movie, and it was ironically not memorable. Not a bad movie, but I couldn't pass a test on the plot.
Just wanna chime in and say I’ve seen the movie twice and don’t remember anything about it.
One of the best movies of all time, love it!
lol I had friends in uni with those Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry DVDs
Serious Jim Carrey roles would be The Truman Show, The Majestic, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, The Number 23 and Dark Crimes.
The way they are dismissing the directing! Visuals are so important. And directors direct performances too.
Loving this
Lo fi sci fi - Primer all the way
The powerful film about dating and heartbreak reminds me of 500 Days of Summer
Another good lofi scifi is safety not guaranteed
Agree with Clint that the direction and writing are more important to its effectiveness than the performances. It needs to be small scale and shot the way it is in order to keep it intimate and in Joel's mind. But at the same time it needs the slickness of knowing how to shoot for the effects.

He's got to get some credit for knowing when to do another take, when to give notes, or when it's good enough to move on.
Eternal Sunshine is, to me, the film equivalent of Vonnegut's Bluebeard. It has a happy ending ffs!
A movie showing up on everyone's list should HEAVILY weigh in it's favor. Independence Day could have been the 101st movie on someone's list or the 1001st movie; exclusion from one or more lists should serve as a big penalty. I'm surprised Independence Day made it, even with Clint's high ranking.
Science of Sleep is great! You may want to revisit it
Off to a great start with this series!
ESotSM one of my go to comfort movies. Such a good film.
Favorite movie!!!!
really good watch...love what you guys do...how bout jon brion doing the music score? it doesn't carry the heavy weight the visual effects are doing but boy does it hit you hard at times....just love what he does with this film, adds so much.
The muted movie on loop at every party was Dark City for me. I had strange friends
Love low fi sci fi
Just had a fun segment thought, for the movies that are so stacked it's hard to pick an MVP... play "Movie Jenga" instead. Which actor/director/writer is the most prominent piece you could remove WITHOUT the whole thing toppling over?

Amazing movie.
Another two great vid directors turned movie directors: Jonathan Glazer, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.
That was three.

Just like tom Wilkins character and kirsten dunst. The heart of the movie is the opposition of the two quotes. People who think this movie ends hopeful agree with neitche. But i think koffman is leaning toward the alexander pope side.
Wasn't THE VVITCH shot entirely with natural lighting?
I have a feeling most of these top 100 movies will be films after 1970 considering it’s compiled by millennials.
It's not impossible to forget. I know I saw it, but without prompting, I couldn't tell you any details about it, other than "dude uses sci-fi to erase his memory".
I think Groundhog Day should count as lo-fi-sci-fi, unless you wanna put it fully into fantasy box.

Mib 2 is totally a memory movie

ESOTM was Black Mirror before Black Mirror
So did they first meet at the beach party, or at the beach when nobody was there?

Glad that it ranks pretty highly!
I feel very differently about the ending. I don't find it hopeful, not really. I feel like these characters are doomed, in a way, to repeat their failed relationship, failure and all.
Does Bill Simmons know about this?
How many people paused this video at the 7:15 mark to go watch Fatboy Slim: Weapon of Choice? Curse you Clint!
Yes, 14th best movie of all time. Agree

JMO... you guys need to lay down some better/consistent structure on how you run through these film - or better details in the notes with specific time stamps for each section...
sorry, I can't just commit to 1 hour per, for 100 films...
Good note! We took timecode notes and forgot to add them, but they're in there now!
Lo-fi sci/fi - Primer
Imma get hate but this movie just try’s WAY too hard to be complicated and cleaver and cool. It feels like when Black Mirror just is trying soooo hard to blow your mind and it has the opposite affect by the end of it. Yes Jim Carey did great in a serious role and yes I get the deeper meanings and nuances but did nobody else get the feeling that the whole movie just try’s to be overly complicated as like a gimmick almost. It serves the story but it feels actually the other way around as if the story is just an excuse to try to confuse and disorient the viewer in hopes too gain popularity or awards. Good for one rewatch so that you can catch the things you missed but after that it isn’t a meaningful or enjoyable rewatch.
Thought I was the only one who was iffy about it. I'm a psych major and the plot felt something like I SHOULD like but maybe what did it for me was the cinematography. The indie-like camera work just isn't my cup of tea. The quality felt like a soap opera you can watch from a bus ride (in my place at least). I also didn't feel any empathy towards the couple, yes they're not meant to be the most pleasing characters but I felt like in a way I should be rooting for them. But I wasn't; the ending stresses me out coz oh gawd they have to go sht all over again js for it to be doomed.
The only thing that interests me about the movie is Elijah Wood's creep character and how someone could take advantage of that kind of technology. I thought it would be ironic (but interesting) if Mark Ruffallo also did it to Kirsten Dunst despite being so disgusted few scenes earlier but that side story still went well either way.
Overall, I wouldn't rewatch the movie.

It has began with the books by #AllanKardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier #ChicoXavier, the greatest and more important #medium/#prophet of #spirits of the last centuries.
Seems like one person didn’t do their homework.
