After a TBI my short-term memory kept resetting every 15 mins or so for a couple of days. Because I found that quite distressing my then-girlfriends put on The Fifth Element on repeat and took shifts watching me.

It worked well, because I'd already seen it so many times that it didn't matter when I reset I could just enjoy the bit I was there for and not think about why I didn't remember stuff.

I still watch it every now and then :-)

They should have put Memento on for you.

Never seen it, so it would provably be the worst possible choice!

it's about someone who can't make long term memories. The scenes are put together in basically backwards order and people tend to leave their first viewing confused

Yeah, I've heard of it and understood the premise, but decided not to watch it ;-)
