The first time I watched this movie I had to watch it again to understand it. Don't make this a date movie - its a bit intense and not necessarily in a romantic way; there is no "happy ending," partly why I love it so much. The strange world this tragedy is placed in is made to feel so realistic you forget that the premise is nearly impossible.
Favorite Quote:
Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: [pauses] Okay.
Fight Club
So, who is Tyler Durden? Oh, just some crazy dude who apparently likes chemical burns, late-night basement fights, blowing up the buildings of big corporations, and fucking the brains out of Helena Bonham-Carter. It's Brad Pitt and Jared Leto shirtless... what more could you ask for in a movie?
Favorite Quote:
Marla Singer: My God. I haven't been fucked like that since grade school.
Wristcutters: A Love Story
Garden State
Sam: He's protecting me.
Andrew Largeman: So?
Sam: He *likes* me!
Andrew Largeman: Don't be cute.
Sam: He's my knight in shining armor.
Andrew Largeman: Don't talk about knights around Mark, it's a sore subject.
Mark: I'm gonna kill that motherfucker!
Andrew Largeman: Pun intended?

Wristcutters: A Love Story
By far the most misleading title for a movie. Zia offed himself that way, sure, but the real story begins when he ends up in some kind of limbo for suicides in the middle of a desert. He drags his friend Eugene on a road trip looking for his ex who apparently offed herself after he did. Of course, the lovely and quirky Mikal gets them to give her a ride... but how did she get to limbo?
Favorite Quotes:
Zia: I'm not going out tonight. It just makes me depressed
Eugene: So, what you gonna do? Kill yourself?
Eugene: I'm not sitting in the back.
Zia: Why not?
Eugene: Cause everybody knows guy in the back seat doesn't have a cock.
Zia: I don't know about you Eugene, but I got a cock. Do you have a cock Mik?
Mikal: Yeah, I got a cock. A big fat one.
Zia: I'm not going out tonight. It just makes me depressed
Eugene: So, what you gonna do? Kill yourself?
Eugene: I'm not sitting in the back.

Mikal: Yeah, I got a cock. A big fat one.
Garden State
Of all the movies that Natalie Portman has made, this one is my favorite. More than just a sweet love story, this movie is about getting over guilt as much as it is about drugs, fucked up families and crazy hometown friends.
