Have you seen the excellent new film "Memento"? The best film I've seen this year - by a wide margin. It's about a man who can't remember anything longer than 15 minutes. The film STARTS with the guy killing the man who murdered his wife, then works BACKWARDS from there to show you how he discovered his identity - so that the viewer sees this discovery process in the same way as the man with the memory problem would! Unlike most films, it really demands your attention - and forces your brain to work hard to keep up. If you like films that challenge the brain (like "The Game" - starring Michael Douglass and Sean Penn), then I think you'll like Memento. -g
