Movies that feel likeMr. Nobody (2009)

Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence with his wife and 3 children; one day, he wakes up as a mortal centenarian in the year 2092.

If you loved Mr. Nobody, the closest films we have are The Time Traveler's Wife (2009), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and The Fountain (2006). All three share Mr. Nobody's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Forgotten Love (2023).
