I mostly see it on a lot of members Top 10 list.

I can see why people love it so much. And probably Michel Gondry best movie ever.

I mean his last couple of movies sucked..

Donnie Darko and Secretary are also very popular.

What's your thoughts on those, Misterlinguist?

Secretary looks pretty good. i've seen the 'good parts' version, i should sit down and watch the whole thing sometime.

These numbers are representative, not absolute, of course, with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind being our baseline, and the other films expressed as multiples of the baseline, so "4.2" would mean that that film appeared on 4.2 times as many top 10 lists as Eternal Sunshine did.

Fight Club: 2.46
Pulp Fiction: 1.42
Donnie Darko: 1.39
Boondock Saints: 1.11
Star Wars: 1.1
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: 1
Amelie: 0.93
Kill Bill (any of them): 0.85
A Clockwork Orange: 0.84
Requiem For a Dream: 0.79
The Big Lebowski: 0.69

Most of the popular-ish movies (Secretary, Shaun of the Dead, Edward Scizzorhands, Rushmore, Garden State, Blade Runner, The Princess Bride, Rocky Horror) end up around .4-.5, so Eternal Sunshine is pretty far up there, though I don't have an exhaustive list or anything like that, so there may be another dozen movies above Fight Club that I haven't thought of. In other words, it's not a scientific survey, but it's kind of interesting, and without a doubt, Eternal Sunshine is not the most popular.
