Overboard should have come first! All the bourne-movies gives you amnesia, I can’t remember what they were about. All I remember is that I just didn’t get it!
But don’t you think the fact that the Bourne-movies give you amnesia prove they deserve a high ranking on a “Top 10 Amnesia Movies” list? Overboard was excellent though..!
Overboard is hilarious and it also happens to be my wifes favorite movie (which should give you a hint about the amount of times i’ve seen). How about these ones then: Mannen utan minne (Aki Kaurismäki, 2002) and 50 first dates (Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymote)
I liked Mannen utan Minne (The Man Without a Past) but not enough to put it on the list. Most of my favorite movies are those that I can watch over and over again. Or at least multiple times. Like I guess Overboard is for your wife.
50 first dates however I didn’t like at all. I actually started making a bottom five list but couldn’t fill the other four slots so I guess it made it to the bottom one. My least favorite amnesia movie. Or at least the worst I can remember..
By the way, if it does give you a hint about how many times i’ve watched it please let me know, cause’ it seems like i’ve forgotten…
I’m going to need our house physicist Patrik Norqvist and a couple of variables to make a decent guess. Like how many years you’ve been married (together), is it Overboard on VHS or DVD, and how many other Goldie Hawn-movies do you guys have in your possession?
great post, thanks for sharing
The Bourne movies are the best all time especially when it comes down to a series or sequels. The thing about the Bourne movies is that is keeps your brain reacting without making it befuddled.
50 first dates?
I am looking for a movie where the woman lose her memory, and she finds a job in a small town dinner or cafeteria and seems in her past she was a chef, they think she is losing it because she sees a man killing a woman and because she takes medication no one believes her.
Thank you I found the movie:
Angels Fall (TV 2007)
Starring: Nora Roberts
Running out of transportation – and financial means, when her car breaks down in a Rockies town, former Boston chef Reese Gilmore accepts a diner cook’s job at least until she can afford the spare parts which may takes weeks to arrive anyway. She resist the owner’s womanizing son, handsome romantic ranch-hand Lohario ‘Lo’, but gets on kissing terms with grumpy recluse author and former city reporter Brody. She needs help to and after reporting to sheriff Rick Marsden she vaguely saw an apparent murder. No woman’s corps is found, and her own psychiatric past is revealed.
Men in Black II. I think it deserves a top 10 spot. Just lump the Bourne movies together and slip this one in.
Couldn’t you just lump the three Bourne films into one listing?
I think he forgot to.
