A superb list. I just watched Science of Sleep for the first time a couple days back, and while I didn't think it was quite as impressive as Eternal Sunshine (one of the very best films of the decade to me), I still came away quite impressed, and enthusiastic that there is a director as head-spinningly imaginative as Gondry in this day and age of schlockbusters and disasterpieces. I think that if he could just manage to load on a significant dose of dramatic punch to his films (not that they're unemotional) he could craft a real masterpiece, because he already has the imagination to pull it off.
