Dave, why the hold-up on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

I don't know why I did not see it when it first came out, and since then I just have not seen it. It just keeps slipping through the cracks.

Attack the Block

Oh noooo! Hurcules level disappointment!

I guess I should say in this case it's more relative to the other films than relative to all films. It'd be 2 or 2.5 out of 4 stars for me in the grand scheme of things. I hope that helps

So yea.

You should feel better now.

Sort of.

Ever!!!! :)

Forbidden Planet (1956), 2001 (1968), and Solaris (1972) immediately come to mind.

I like seeing so many responses. Perhaps the benefit of a poll where all the choices are fairly recent. (Maybe we're all a bunch of sci-fi nerds and I never noticed.)

The poll options are listed according to Screen Crush's Ranking, so it's funny that Her so far is 0/21. That can't entirely be because it's recent when Under the Skin has 2 votes.

This is closer than I expected. I thought for sure Eternal Sunshine would run away with it, which is why I allowed 2 votes.

I hope one day T2 joins this illustrious company of films!

I am very surprised (and not at all disappointed), as well! NO FATE! :P :))
