Memento
Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

To me, this movie is perfection.
Just perfect...
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Blistering performances.
I probably had big expectations so I did not enjoy the film as much as I expected to. The plot twist is great, but until then I was not fully pleased.
I saw it when it first came out and was on the edge of my seat for the whole film, all the while trying to unravel what had happened and what was to come (because the whole premise of the movie as you presumably know is that it runs backwards). 18 years later I finally got around to watching it again and it was just as entertaining knowing the ending as I watched, engrossed, to see how everything came to pass. Not just a film that rewards two watchings but one that demands them. A tour de force and for my money still Nolan's best work.
Should've watched this 18 years ago but I liked it.
I like the twisted plot. the black and white scene mixed with flashbacks and colored sequence aswell.
