Though half-way through the procedure, Joel realizes he is still in love with her and doesn't want to go on with erasing his last memories of her. Stuck in his memories with Clementine he tries to hold on to their experiences together as they're being erased one by one. But after the procedure will Joel remember her?

Why Should You Watch It?:
It's one of my all time favorite movies. Directed by French Director Michel Gondry who has already done plenty of odd movies(Science of Sleep & Be Kind Rewind). To me it's one of the best love stories ever told. It's a sad, funny, romantic, heartbreaking, complex, movie that'll make you laugh and cry at the same time. Unlike most love stories, it starts off where the two people absolutely hate each other but then still find the ability to fall in love with each other all over again. I mean if your tired of watching the same "Boy falls in love with girl, then they get married" type of movies then try somethin different. I guarantee you, this movie is different!
