Yes, phenomenal movie. And the chief reason why it is so great: Charlie Kaufman.
I think it is the whole package. The script, the directing and the actors. One of those movies that gets a tear in my eye every time I see it. Not because it is particularly sad but because it is so powerful.

But I've found out that someone also has the same opinion than I have on youtube &feature=related

Memorable lines
This is it Joel.
Enjoy it.
Male or female?What?... Female... A female...
I'm Ruthless at the Moment.
I thought maybe you were a NUT!
I wish I'd done a lotta things...
Trying to outrun my humiliation I think...

Favourite moments
When she says "So go"
The whole memory deterioration that is happening and makes sand appear in the house and all sorts of weird stuff
The way Joel says I wish I'd stay for the last time
The look Joel has when he's explaining that he left cause Clem said so go with such disdain.
The way Clem says Meet me in Montauk and how Joel said I love you
The whole thing after 6:36... The surrealism (I lack a better term) and the editing is just so good.

What a great F'n movie!!!

I don't know how to put it, but I liked this phrase a lot. there aren't many people who could interpret art this way.

and I loved the movie too. Kaufmann is a serious writer.

Have you seen "Adaptation"? ... there's a movie to mess with your mind... also by the Kaufman twins... 😉

The whole sequence from 1:24:21 to 1:31:43 is one of the best things I've seen in cinema. Acting wise, editing wise, dialog wise, everything wise!!!

If you haven't seen this one already do yourself a favour and watch it.
No thanks, I have a set of balls, so I don't watch chick flicks.

You have a set of balls? Did you leave them in your other pants?

It's not really a chick film as it verges on SF. Plus Kirsten Dunst has side boob. 😉

It's quite good. It's got Nicholas Cage in. I liked it... It's not a well known film though so i can let you off 🙂

I've heard about this movie since it came out and really wanted to see it but haven't seen it still... There are some more films that wait in my to see limbo by the way. But this one I think I'll see pretty soon.

Another absolutely brilliant screenplay by Charlie Kaufman (one of my favorites). And, yes, let's not forget Donald's role in that one. Donald was, in fact, nominated along with Charlie for the Oscar (not to mention several other awards that year). 🙄
