Memento - #27

This was the second movie I watched for the IMDB Top 100 Challenge.

IMDB rating: 8.6
My rating: 9.8

Memento was one of the best movies I've ever seen. I watched it late at night and I couldn't fall asleep afterward because I kept thinking about the twists and turns in the plot. I laid in bed for hours retracing the story and thinking about all the implications.

Christopher Nolan directed this masterpiece before moving on to his other blockbusters, Batman Begins (IMDB #105), The Prestige (IMDB #83), and The Dark Knight (IMDB #6). If these movies don't confirm Nolan as one of the best writers and directors alive today, I don't know what will.

Nolan is coming out with a new movie, Inception, to be released sometime in 2010 before moving on to the final installment of the Batman trilogy. I'll definitely be watching both of these as soon as they hit theaters.
