Switch (1991)
Steve Brooks (Perry King), a sexist womanizer, is killed by a group of his angry former lovers. In purgatory, it is revealed that he has enough good and bad deeds to even out between heaven and hell. He makes a bargain with God for redemption and must find one woman that doesn’t hate him, if not, Steve will go to hell. The devil chimes in with a condition that Steve comes back as a woman (Ellen Barkin). Ellen Barkin’s performance as a man in a woman’s body is hilarious, with brawls and other actions stereotypical of a macho man.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Joel Barrish (Jim Carrey) and Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet) have a romance. When they part, Clementine opts to get a strange procedure that will erase Joel from her memory. Distraught over her decision, Joel decides to have the same procedure done. A lot of the movie focuses on his memories of their relationship; some good, some bad, and some very abstract, feelings and emotions rather than memories. It is a beautiful movie. The effects are beautiful, the cinematography is amazing, and the movie as a whole is wonderful.
