only watched "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind"

but i'm glad it's there. i watched it once and i don't know if i can stomach another viewing. reminds me of my own situation too much. (except for all the parts where the girl actually, you know, liked him)

I would consider Mrs. Doubtfire more of a comedy, the other two are serious.
