Is there a specific name for this type of memory?

I can remember totally random and unimportant things from conversations and events from when I was as young as like 5, and I can quote like half a movie after seeing it just once.

Plus I never forget a name, and if I see someone/hear a voice on tv or in a movie and then hear/see it again, I always remember it and can usually recall where its from.

But my mom could give me a list of like 3 things to do and then 35 minutes later I forget half or all of them. And other important things like homework and to brings things in to school, and can just completely forget.

Is there a specific name or something for this type of memory?
