This is the only movie where you can give spoilers without spoiling the movie. At the top of this page, it says, "Some memories are best forgotten." If you've watched the movie and if you truly understand it, then you know that's a spoiler. But an innocent bystander that hasn't seen the movie wouldn't even know it's a spoiler until AFTER they've seen the movie and understood it in full. By then, it's not really a spoiler!!! This is the sign of brilliant movie-making. Only Nolan could concoct such a storyline.

Don't know why this movie is #73 all time. Hated this movie, although not as much as Fight Club. They are both twisted sadistic pieces of crap, although Fight Club more so

Nolan's best. Better than The Dark Knight. He should do more intellectual movies like this. His brother wrote a story which he'd based it off. They could be a team in film like the Cohen Brothers; The Nolan Brothers.

They actually do collaborate! I think they wrote Inception together!

I'm glad you're not on the Nolan bandwagon but didn't you like The Dark Knight? That was a great individual movie.

Best ending I've ever seen. This is Nolan at his finest. I've seen it over 10 times and never get tired of it. The way the two timelines converge is perfect. Guy Pearce's best work, and even the supporting cast is excellent. The only movie so far I'd ever give a 10/10.

Fascinating nonlinear mystery about a man with amnesia, with a single-minded determination to find his his wife's killer. Expert film making all around. Pearce is captivating, Pantoliano and Moss are great. A unique puzzle of a film, where you can not wait until the beginning.
