    Two movies that are considered classics... both overrated as Hell imo. Which is better?

    On first viewing, I think "Memento" is better, for rewatchability I'd have to go with "The Usual Suspects".

    I think TUS is better.

    My opinion of Memento is it tries toooo hard to be smart.

    Memento: great if you can stay awake for longer than 45 minutes...

    It's cause of Gabriel Byrne, eh? The Irish stick together.

    I gave Memento a FEW chances. Figured maybe I missed the "brillance" on the first viewing. Nope. I just don't like it.

    As far as Nolan movies go, I actually think Insomnia is better.
