Asking a film buff his or her favorite film is risky business. It’s either nonexistent or always changing. I usually reply Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, because I admire all aspects of the film. I love its innovative style, its meaningful story, its well-crafted screenplay, and its great performances, and I can watch it over and over again. Still, I have a lot of favorites.
