There are plenty of comedies that make you laugh and dramas that make you cry, but sometimes, a movie with a little bit of both is what you need. Films that balance the happiness and sadness of their stories, culminating in uplifting but melancholic conclusions, stay with the audience for a long time. Classics like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are well known for their bittersweet tone and philosophical storytelling. Whether they’re more fantastical, like Eternal Sunshine, or grounded in reality, all of these projects hit home.
