Joker vs. Memento

Joker is a very formulaic Scorsese copycat. It's still good though, especially because of Joaquin Phoenix. Nothing really special like Memento is; the way the story is told is simply brilliant. The mystery is incredibly involving and complex because of that. It's great for some thrills and it easily wins here.

Memento is just so unique and perfectly written!

It's still gotta be Memento...

Joker is awesome. The perfect homage to the Scorsese-prototype sociopath. Joaquin Phoenix, like Ledger before him, nails his own brand of the iconic character. I'm still siding with Memento for its uniquely original take on a man suffering from short-term memory loss. It feels fresh each time I watch it.

Joker is great but prefer Memento.

Only seen Memento once. Joker for now.

It's pretty close but I'm leaning towards Joker. Both masterpieces tho.

Memento is definitely the better film in term of writing and technical aspects but Joker has phoenix and a great soundtrack with a dark and gritty theme. I'm not voting for either, they're even.

Memento is spectacular but pretty much anything could beat Joker

Joker doesn’t go on with social memorable, memento owns this with ease.

joker by a hair, loved both

Wasn't an easy decision, but Joker is the better one between the two masterpieces.

Joker by a slim margin
