So, an an interesting anecdote, Eternal Sunshine saved my relationship. My GF broke up with me just a week before the film came out. We both saw it on opeing weekend (not together of course) and it seemed to both of us as though they'd taken our lives and placed them up on the big screen (though I'm not nearly as boring as Joel and my GF isn't nearly as flakey as Clementine.) It struck such a chord with both of us that we did some serious re-evaluating of our relationship and eventually came back together and worked things out. I believe that it would never have happened if it weren't for Eternal Sunshine.
That makes it the second movie that ever changed my life. The first was The Kids Are Alright which I saw when I was 14. I went out and bought a bass the very next day and I've been playing in bands ever since.
