5 Movies That Could've Been Black Mirror Episodes
1. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
As seen in episodes like San Junipero and Hang the DJ, Black Mirror is not afraid to focus on romance. And as seen in Be Right Back, it's also not afraid to rip your heart out.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind focuses on a dysfunctional couple who, after a painful breakup, decide to erase all of their memories of each other. The technology here feels plausible, and the movie doesn't hold back from exploring just how damaging it could be to a person's well-being.
Unlike most of the other movies on this list, there's really not a whole lot about this movie that would need to change to be a Black Mirror episode. It would probably need to cut down some of the subplots to keep it within the standard Black Mirror runtime range, but it's already got all the high-quality writing, amazing performances, and plenty of kicks to the gut along the way.
