Keeping an eye on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the pool. Interested to see what people would put alongside it in the six.

Sinead, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Eoin, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
