It's very rare for me to rave this much about a movie, but I feel that everyone reading this should go out and see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Although it comes from the brilliantly twisted mind of Charlie Kaufman (who also brought you Being John Malkovich), it is, at its heart, a deeply romantic movie that really connected for me. I guess to some degree I saw a bit of myself in the protagonist - the straight man in awe that someone wonderfully alive would've chosen him. Also, you got to see all aspects of a relationship without any punches being pulled...albeit in that odd way that is only natural for what we come to expect from Charlie Kaufman. It lends, in its own strange way, hope for the seemingly etnerally single like Y.T.
