Off-topic, of course, but FIFTY FIRST DATES, with the heroine's anterograde amnesia, immediately brings to mind MEMENTO, the Christopher Nolan film based on the story, "Memento Mori," by his brother, Jonathan.

Yes, "Memento" is an amazing, incredible film, and I did consider it for the above essay, but it didn't quite fit with the theme of the rest of the movies discussed. It definitely deserves its own page, and it would be great if you would consider writing about it as a "Guest Post" for "moviewise." Here is some information about it:

Many thanks! It will be an honor to offer some thoughts on that remarkable movie, although I may wish to watch it again before I comment. [It has been a few years...]

Wonderful! Anytime that you send your review is fine. "Memento" is such a popular movie that it may be available to borrow from the library (Hoopla, Kanopy). This site mentions all the places that offer it: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/memento
