Memento (2000)  January 15, 2004 at 8:00pm in 26-100, January 16, 2004 at 8:00pm in 26-100, and January 17, 2004 at 8:00pm in 26-100. More requested than any other movie in LSC history, LSC attempted to show this not once, not twice, but three semesters in a row before being beaten by its distributor, the champion of phone tag...but now, at long last, we've booked it so you can finally see the 17th greatest movie of all time* in 26-100! Leonard (Guy Pearce) suffers from short-term memory loss. Notes and tattoos are his only connection to the past as he searches for his wife's murderer. Meanwhile, barmaid Natalie (Carrie-Ann Moss) and a guy named Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) offer to help him in his quest - but each claims the other is an enemy. The story is presented backwards and in pieces, just as Leonard experiences it. "mesmerizing mind-bender - a mind fuck as well as a new classic
among thrillers" "Memento doesn't just draw you into a dramatic mystery, it makes
you aware of human mystery. And that's food for thought and
entertainment." *as ranked by IMDB users |
