Memento was my favorite too, but I had to watch it like 3 times, I'm a bit slow, you see.

^ :lol: Yeah, it can be pretty confusing.

Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind is a great movie as well. I think Pulp Fiction is overrated though.

The ones in red are the ones I've watched.

On that list, I'd say American History X and Fargo were the best. Memento was overrated. It felt like deja vu, like Run Lola Run. Strange shit.

Greatest indie movie of all time was Oldboy, hands down.
