Oh yeah.
That reminds me.
I think I accidentally slammed the hood on the mechanic while he was taking a look at the engine trapping him in there.
I better let him out because I don't give no free rides to nobody!
Meh, it can wait till later since I'm not going anywhere just yet.

Following wasn't a proper movie and doesn't count.
That was a mean thing to say. Also, Inception was the proper movie. Nobody even heard of Nolan until Inception.

The best is easily Memento by Nolan. Following wasn't a proper movie and doesn't count.
Memento is also the greatest movie of all time
Thank you for talking to me

Citizen Kane. Orson Welles never made a better movie.
