10 Most Bizarre DVD Easter Eggs

Memento's special edition release should be put in an archive for crazy people, as no one who put it in their DVD player had a satisfying experience without a fair amount of online research.

Christopher Nolan's second foray into chronologically confused narratives was a hit on the indie scene, and he would continue to play with time. Apart from The Dark Knight, his narratively straight forward films have been among his least successful.

When it came time to give the film the special treatment, Nolan didn't disappoint. Memento is spread across two discs, including director's commentary, an episode of Sundance's Anatomy of a Scene, Jonathan Nolan's original short story, production stills and sketches. But accessing them was another matter entirely.

Nothing is actually labeled, and the DVD is shaped like a file folder for a mental patient. The menus are a series of memory and psychological evaluation tests that eventually lead you to what you want, but pressing the wrong icon leads you to a completely different area of the DVD.

Those who were patient and curious stuck around and learned how to unlock Memento, but in chronological order. If you haven't seen it, there's nothing less satisfying than watching a movie that relies so heavily on narrative magic tricks ultimately spell out the whole game in the first few minutes.

Other things, like pacing and atmosphere, are completely thrown out of whack. It's a feature for the morbidly curious, and it adds literally nothing to Memento's legacy.
