This movie made the list for its one of a kind storytelling. Christopher Nolan's brilliance shines again.

I realized pretty quickly that the story was told in reverse, but I anticipated, at some point in the film, the story would move forward again, picking up at the event at the start of the film. I didn't think you can keep going backward and end a movie at a story's beginning. A movie has to end at a high note. And no story starts at a climax.

Christopher Nolan would like to beg my differ. He amazingly came up with a story's beginning that also worked as a film's ending.

All in all, Memento is a must watch. There is no other film like it.
