Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I've only managed to catch the first part of the movie... Dammit. Seems like I might not have the chance to finish it.
I wish I would erase some of my memories. I tried. I really did.
Apparently... unfortuantely its just not possible.
Only such things happens in the movies...
Or does it???? Hmmm.......


Plot Summary
This is the story of a guy, Joel (Jim Carrey), who discovers that his long-time girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet), has undergone a psychiatrist's ('Tom Wilkinson') experimental procedure in which all of her memory of Joel is removed, after the couple has tried for years to get their relationship working fluidly.

Frustrated by the idea of still being in love with a woman who doesn't remember their time together, Joel agrees to undergo the procedure as well, to erase his memories of Clementine.

The film, which takes place mostly within Joel's mind, follows his memories of Clementine backwards in time as each recent memory is replaced, and the procedure then goes on to the previous one, which is likewise seen, and then erased.

Once the process starts, however, Joel realizes he doesn't really want to forget Clementine, so he starts smuggling her away into parts of his memory where she doesn't belong which alters other things about his memories as well...

Plot Summary 2:
Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their tumultuous relationship erased. Out of desperation, he contracts the inventor of the process, Dr. Howard Mierzwaik ('Tom Wilkinson'), to have Clementine removed from his own memory. But as Joel's memories progressively disappear, he begins to rediscover their earlier passion. From deep within the recesses of his brain, Joel attempts to escape the procedure. As Dr. Mierzwiak and his crew (Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and 'Elijah Wood') chase him through the maze of his memories, it's clear that Joel just can't get her out of his head.
