9) Memento (2000)

Memento explores the effects of short-term memory loss on the titular character, Leonard Shelby, played by Guy Pierce. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the movie is based on his brother, Jonathan Nolan's short story, Memento Mori. The film's unique narrative structure, told in reverse, mirrors Leonard's experience of living with anterograde amnesia, where he can't form new memories. Viewers get a close look at how this condition affects his ability to make decisions, trust people, and understand his reality.
