It’s a beautiful screenplay overflowing with moments of such sudden, tight-fisted insanity that frequently knocked my socks off, all of its coupled with a poignant purity that’s beyond terrific. As early-year movies go, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind isn’t just a surprise, it’s a bona fide cinematic miracle I’m not ever going to forget.

As a film guaranteed to impress and absolutely assured to make an audience think, Far from Heaven is nothing less than divine.

Punch-Drunk Love is Sandler’s finest hour.
