Joel's very first memory of Clementine being his last one, that gets me every time.

the eternal heartbreak of rewatching the same scenes for years to come.

"Come back and make up a goodbye at least. Let's pretend we had one." That part destroys me each time. One of the most beautifully written movies I've seen.

The most unique and creative romance movie ive ever seen

"I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish I...I wish I'd stayed." This is some incredible acting. There's something really fucking poetic about not being able to find the words, not having the vocabulary to describe your feelings and Jim Carrey nailed it here.

When Joel jumps out of his sleep and searches for Clementine.. My heart aches

This scene is the definition of perfection. I get chills everytime. After I watched this movie the first time, I remember staring at the wall in silent tears, wondering what the hell I was supposed to feel.

The way Kate Winslet says Bye Joel is so unbelievably perfect. It's so innocent so loving and also has a hint of regret, she was perfect as Clementine, you 100% understand why Joel loves her so much.

One of the best, most powerful scenes in cinema history...and that's the plain truth.

I like to think Clementine went through the same process with her memories of Joel. I mean, clearly, why else would she go back to Montauk?

This scene helped me make the best decision in my life. I ended up staying.

This movie crushed my heart so many times. I realized I had fallen in love with someone when it was too late. We never had a goodbye, I would just replay the few scenes I had with him in my head. 6 years later, we found each other again like Joel and Clementine in Montauk. After our first “reunited” date, it was done - I was madly in love with him all over again. We’re married now and I can’t help but think how lucky I am that we both stayed this time.

"Come back and make up a goodbye at least, lets pretend we had one" That hits way too close to home for me.

I lose it after he says "I love you". Every single time.

"I ran back to the bonfire trying to outrun my humiliation, I think" "...Was it something I said?" "Yeah....you said, 'so go.' With such disdain you know?" Tears into me every time. The words we take for actions and seriousness, sometimes end up sculpting our biggest regrets. If only we got the chance to redo certain things...got the chance to stay. I love this scene so much.

I don't know.. this particular scene just makes me really weak. It's so, so sad. Like you just wish you could do something, anything in your hands to not lose the person, the memories, and just change the course of life so that they will stay. This scene breaks my soul, but it is beautiful, the best depiction of reality.

"Come back and make up a Goodbye, at least... Let's pretend we had one." Tear up every time.

You said, "So go". With such disdain, you know? That line is really memorable.

I love the whole scene, especially "meet me in montauk." But lately what kills me is when he gets in the car and you see the last flashes of memories. It just hurts! It's all going to be gone....everything they had. Love this scene. Love this movie!!

Anyone who's ever been in a shaky long-term relationship can feel this on a whole different level -- particularly the last 45 seconds. It gives me the same feeling that I'd get when walking through a house filled with rooms where space was shared and memories were made. I remember walking through the house after the split-up between my first real long-term girlfriend and I. Empty shelf spaces, empty couch, silent room... The only thing I found of hers was the crappy birdhouse that I helped her make, with her carving of "I Love You!" on the side of it. It's rough, looking into every corner and seeing a ghost of good times past. Her goofy stickers on the side of my TV, the place where we hung the hideous Christmas lights we'd bought, the empty seat next to me where she used to sit. This scene always makes me reflect on myself. "I felt like a scared little kid..." It's so painful to watch him say these things to a memory of her rather than the actual person, when it might've actually counted for something. Every single one of us has been there, and after so many shitty friendships/relationships, it's so hard to remember not to be the same way -- all the shit I could've said when the words might've held some actual value. So many years later and I'm happily married to the best woman I've ever met, but I still have to stop myself from going on that bullshit autopilot mode. Make every moment count. You never know when you're going to find yourself looking back on it, wishing you'd done something else.

this movie is in its own genre: romantic horror

For me, one of the best scenes I've ever seen. The music, the dialogue. Just wow.

Most underrated movies that will ever be made

"Meet me in Montauk" Kills me every single time.

The way this movie depicts dreams is purely artistic. the moment where he was looking behind in the car while he is covered with sand. wow, dreams start to collide.

The worst thing in life is not being alone, but having someone forget about you, that you will never forget.

Jim Carrey is such a good actor! Who don't get the recognition he deserves. He didn't even get a Oscar nom for this! Jim is one of the actors when he is gone everyone will say he was such a genius. He is in two of my favorite movies of all time and two of my all time favorite comedies. Such a range!

"I saw you talking to someone pretty!" "She was nice." "Yeah, man, who was that?" "She was uhm...just a girl."

I’ve sat in the back seat of a car so many times. Caught up in my own thoughts while I can vaguely hear my friends in the front seat talking about something that I’m not paying attention to. I’ve never seen a film that captured a feeling so accurately as this one does.

Anyone still comes here every now and then?

0:49 "i wish i'd stayed...i do." oof...that one hits hard.

This is how it felt when we said goodbye. I felt helpless while the world crashed down around us. We knew we'd miss the memories and the possibilites. But you decided you had to go. I hadn't seen or talked to you since that moment. Then I saw you three days ago, you were with your husband. He walked in the store and just before you went in, you saw me. You stood for only a couple seconds and gave me a look I'll never forget, then walked in the store. Everything I thought I forgot rushed back in one moment. I wonder if you wished you would have stayed..

i wish id done a lot of things

Kate Winslet & Jim Carrey two very different genre actors can make pure magic in one movie

The script originally reads, Joel: 'I love you', to which Clems answers "I --" before the memory fades. Whoever came up with that beautiful, distorted ASMR "Meet me in Montauk" is a storytelling genius!!

I can't remember how many times I've watched this scene.

How this film didn't win Best Picture, let alone be nominated, is one of the biggest snubs of all time in the history of film.

It's absolutely insane how much Joel reminds me of myself. When I'm weak, I am Joel. This movie meant the world to me as I grew up, and it haunts me even harder now that I'm getting to Joel's age. I was recently dumped for the second time by the love of my life. I've been erased...again. Probably for good this time. She doesn't seem to want the memories. But I refuse to let go of the memories - they're precious to me and I don't regret anything. At the same time, I know it's over, and that's fine. I know it's over. But the memories? They belong to me, and I don't want to let go. Even if they hurt sometimes. I don't regret it.

I cry every single time ...

When the memories are flicking past and he’s trying to remember her, but all that’s left is sand and the beach…makes me cry every time. This movie is a masterpiece.

this scene, and her whisper at the end..."meet me in Montauk"... encapsulates every regret of every love I have ever had and broke....I cannot watch it without crying, no matter how many times....it grips a deep part of my heart that is sooooooooo sorry.....

*You were scared? Yeah..I thought you knew that about me.* This scene overall is just so relatable in life. We make decisions that define us for the rest of our lives. Living with regrets is painful, losing your person because of poor choices is tough, I rewatch this scene weekly just to get my doze of reality, she’s gone and therefore you must move on. *I wish I stayed, I wish I done a lot of things* Yeah Joel, don’t we all.

The part where he is riding by and watching all of their memories flash then dissapear is the saddest thing. I t really hits you, and the score on top of it makes it more heartbreaking.

I cried so fucking much in this scene when she says 'Bye Joel'

I remember in my old apartment watching this eating chinese... crying so much at this part... like hard.. oh how time flies.... This movie, 21 Grams, and the movie "Her" is by far my top fav movies of all time

Every year I watch this film. It's funny how important a film can be to someone.

this scene alone deserves 10 oscars!!!!

I love the way they show his mind and memory deteriorating. The ocean comes in, the house falls apart, library books fading away, the isolating spotlight, the way clementine appears on screen less and less as his brain begins to lose her. Especially the ending when she speaks to him offscreen.

I wish I'd stayed.

One of the most deserved Oscar wins ever imo is this script winning best screenplay. Perfect casting too, Jim deserved more recognition for his amazing performance.

Man, Jim is amazing in this scene. Feels so candid, the camerawork and the music too...great scene. He needs to do more stuff like this because he's heartbreaking.

This was my ex and I's favorite movie. I still think about her alot. Its kind of funny, my ex told me the same thing, kind of a joke but with an undertone of seriousness "if we breakup, meet me in Montauk". After we split, i rewatched the movie and i finally understand it and it has become one of my favorite movies. Im getting a "meet me in montauk" tattoo to remind me of our relationship, the lessons i learned, and all the fun we had. Ill always love her, nothing can change that, but maybe its for a reason. Im sorry that it didnt work out leah brisco, i wish it could have. One of these days, meet me in Montauk. Thank you for everything.

even 10 to 15 years later, the scene of the water rushing in around Jim's ankles, and him, saying, "i don't know. i wish i'd stayed... i... i wish i'd stayed..." still rings strong, clear, and true in my memory... {that's good film-making!}

When she said,"meet me in Montauk" I had chills from my head to my toes.

One of the best scenes in cinema. Truly spectacular film.

Kate is so alive,mad and angaging as clementine.Adore this movie it hits you right in the soul.its so fresh new and imaginative.

wow, just wow....how she talks to him in his mind as he's re-thinking the moment and what he wishes he could have done, admitting to her he wishes he wouldn't have left. And her talking to him with the sweetest voice talking him through it and making it better kills me.

The thought of this scene makes me break down. So beautiful, so real, so haunting. It hurts, in the best way possible.

One of my favorite movie scenes. I love the whole movie but this scene gets me everytime.

this is what funeral moments are about , you remember the person , the most personal moments , then there gone

God I LOVE this movie! This scene is SO like being in love. WAY better dream sequences than Inception!

15 years later and it still hits me right in the feels

damn....this movie.... i have no words, no words to describe how beautiful this movie is. i've watched it so many times, it still makes me cry everytime. this scene right here, easily makes me cry. it's not because it is a sad scene, but because the scene, the dialogues, they touch your soul so very deeply, u have no words left but tears. definitely the greatest movie i've ever seen. nothing could come close to this masterpiece. not even shawshank redemption (my 2nd favorite movie of all-time btw).

This is one of those classic moments in movie-making where we can all have our own interpretation but for me it stands out as a clear sign of idealistic and romantic love. That no matter how hard we try to fight it (even by erasing our memories) we will still find -- and fall for -- certain people. The movie seems to be saying that they had some sort of spiritual or special connection, even in the subconscious world, and that is how both Clem and Joel ended up going to Montauk that morning.

It's one of the saddest movie scene I have ever seen. Really beautiful, heartbreaking stuff. And the music.. Oh the music..

I don't mind saying this movie did permanent psychological damage to me and probably a lot of other people who saw it in the theater. :)

I’m crying. I miss you.

I need a hug...

"I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish I...I wish I'd stayed." this kills me everytime

This film scene is absolute genius. heart rending everytime.

I don't think I've ever seen a scene that so beautifully and tragically captures the thoughts running through my head after my girlfriend and I broke up

10 years next year in march since i first met her and i still wish she stayed.....

This scene always puts my heart in shock. It's the final memory of Joel has of Clem, and even between the beginning and end of these few minutes, you feel their relationship disappearing. The way he talks to her is much more empty. 0:44, he can't recall any of his regrets. 1:28 "It's okay".. it sounds like he's already forgetting that he's erasing her. And the way she talks to him is already so simple compared to the beginning of the scene, like he's forgotten the dimensions of her personality. And by 2:25, Clementine is gone, and whats left is a vague concept of a girl that his friends ask him about on the car ride home. Easily the most brilliant and saddest 3 minutes of all the movies I'd ever seen, no doubt. Kate and Jim do an incredibly perfect job of creating this work of art.

"I didn't crash the plane, the plane crashed. I didn't crash the plane."

“You were scared?” “Yeah, I thought you knew that about me” I love this so much. No matter how long you’ve been with someone, gotten to know them and spent time around them, there’s always new things about them that you don’t know about yet. You’re always still learning them, and that’s beautiful. This film is beautiful.

This scene absolutely kills me every time. Just so well written. in heartbreak there’s always things you wish you’d said, the ending you wish had given closure even though it was inevitable for whatever reason and there’s no such thing as a perfect goodbye.

"Meet me in Montauk" should go down as one of the all time great film lines in the history of motion pictures.

Makes me cry everytime

"you said 'so go' with such desdain" that breaks my heart. "come back and make a goodbye at leat" 💗 such a powerful scene. its so melancholic and sweet 💜

2:16 and on, just such brilliant shots and tone. So beautiful and tragic. Fragile memories.

Jim Carey should've got Oscar for this. What an actor he is.

After so many years, this movie still completely breaks me.

The part that gets me is towards the end when Joel replies to his friends asking who he was talking to: “just a girl” the way he says it is so poetic

I wish i could forget everything about this movie and watch it for the first time again ;_;

Who's cutting onions near me right now...

“I wish I’d done a lot of things.” That line is surprisingly uplifting to me at the moment. To hear someone hit the nail on the head so accurately, but so simply, is just a nice thing to see.

I love everything about this scene. And this music. And this movie.

There are not too many films where there is this one classic moment which will be remembered in cinema history. I wonder if the actors realize they were part of a brilliant movie while making this.

To me this movie is something I wish I had, a memory of a love worth fighting for. Because it's not the story of true love or a story of enduring love it's the story of a man who regrets giving up the memory of love and seeing the movie circle back on itself is amazing to me. When the memory says "Meet me in Montauk" i about started to cry because thats what he did, he held onto one last piece of her memory in order to start over again.

Very tender moment. Pure. Sincere. Heartbreaking

This Movie and this scene, is not only some of the best pieces of cinema I've ever seen, but just one of the best things I've ever seen.

"I wish I stay, I do" every time I see this I want to go back in time or in a time of this virus never happened, so I can be the person I love

This scene brought me to tears :'(

Heartbreaking scene gets me every time. Fading memory's of lost love and regret

It's nice to see those kind of fellings, at least in a movie :/ I love this movie, IDK how many times I watched already, it was so many. This movie represents true love to me, it's nice to see it, even though its a movie :/

I always come back to this scene when I get my heart broken. unfortunately by the same person

This is my favorite movie. I always come back to watch this scene. This is film making at it’s best.

And at the end of the movie, it turns full circle. She is at his place, listening to him on the tape, talking about all the things that annoyed him about her and gets up to leave. She says, "Bye, it was nice meeting you and all." And when she walks out the door, he is the one who makes her stay.

I always come here when I want to cry

My favorite movie of all time. Heartbreaking to watch after break up with girlfriend and magical when you fall in love with someone. Hope one day it will happen again...
