- At first it seemed to have no scenes, but rewatching produced nominees; the film is two intertwined sequences, black-and-white and color.
- Lenny killing Teddy at the top and the first six minutes are nominated, fun to watch knowing where it goes.
- The first Carrie-Anne Moss diner scene is good and plays differently once you know what she did.
- Finding the guy in his closet and the shootout where he does not know what is happening are liked.
- Carrie-Anne Moss flipping out on him, hiding the pens and provoking him, is called not the most rewatchable but a great scene that shows his limitations and inverts how that character is traditionally played in detective stories.
- Dogs are a real-life Memento: they cannot tell five minutes from 17 days away, so they can be messed with.
- The dog remark is clarified as hypothetical: not saying it was done, only that it could be in the wrong hands. — Bill Simmons
- Carrie-Anne Moss using his condition against him for a day is brutal to watch.
- The last 20 minutes, including the diabetes reveal and Teddy saying you lie to yourself to be happy, are very rewatchable.
- Leonard's transition from black and white to color, with the killing of Jimmy and Teddy's reveal, is probably the most rewatchable scene.
