- 1. Michael Clayton
Arthur Edens: "I realized Michael, that I had emerged not from the doors of Kenner, Bach, and Ledeen, not through the portals of our vast and powerful law firm, but from the asshole of an organism whose sole function is to excrete the... the-the-the poison, the ammo, the defoliant necessary for other, larger, more powerful organisms to destroy the miracle of humanity. And that I had been coated in this patina of shit for the best part of my life. The stench of it and the stain of it would in all likelihood take the rest of my life to undo. And you know what I did? I took a deep cleansing breath and I set that notion aside. I tabled it. I said to myself as clear as this may be, as potent a feeling as this is, as true a thing as I believe that I have witnessed today, it must wait. It must stand the test of time. And Michael, the time is now." - 2. Into the wild

Great list! Good to see Fight Club and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on here.
Like those two, Memento also has a disrupted narrative and is about memory. Have you seen it?
Memento is one of my favourite movies! Takes a little while to understand fully- I might buy it so I can watch over and over again...
