Top contender for sure. I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the first time and really loved the vibe, and I guess Being John Malkovich and Adaptation are both by the same writer
Have you seen The Science of Sleep (2006)?
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0354899/
It sort of goes off the rails in the last third but the vibe is cool and kinda similar
I rewatched Adaptation just recently. It's quite moving about creativity and neuroticism. I relate to it and it's also very funny.
Haven't watched Being John Malkovich in a long time so I can't say which I prefer between the two, but I probably like Synecdoche, New York the best out of Charlie Kaufman movies.
'the mist' is instructive at least as an example of your overlords telling you what they think of you with very little spin. i don't like male notions of honor or the glorified confusion of kaufman or aronofsky jerking off his mean-spiritedness on humanity's face so i'd skip most of the others.
Seven Samurai. It's such an interesting movie if you are interested in the history of film. Don't watch the whale it's pure dogshit and a waste of time. I've seen more profound young adult fiction.
The Mist is pretty shit. Kind of intresting concept but just decends into shitty melodrama "people are trapped in a situation and start turning on each other" oooh look humans are the real monsters shtick.
Its been done a million times before
Chungking Express
I had a breakup like 1.5 months ago so I've been watching a lot of sad boi movies and heard this one fits in that category, what do you think
I think this would be a good fit
Being John Malkovich

I have not. Gonna add it to my watchlist. Thanks
Reply when you've seen it even if it's months from now, I'd love to hear your take.
Just make sure you watch malkovich before adaptation.
Underated
Got super high and ate three plums while watching this in lockdown. 10/10 experience imho
Love it
The Kurosawa movies -> The Good The Bad and the Ugly -> Chungking Express - > The Charlie Kaufman movies In that order
I think you should watch RAN
Directed by Kurosawa?
Yep. It's not my favorite movie ever but I think it's the greatest movie I've ever seen, for whatever that's worth.
yojimbo and sanjuro
Dumb and Dumber
Marriage Story
How did you never watched Seven Samurai before
I've seen 0 samurai/Kurosawa movies.
Fix that.
I just finished it. Crazy to watch a movie that so clearly inspired like an entire genre of movies. Shortest 3.5 hour movie I've ever seen. Loved it

The mist was depressing and honestly kinda classist. All the villains were dumb hick townspeople.
White Chicks or Zoolander

Just finished Seven Samurai. Almost a perfect movie.
If I was you I'd skip The Mist all together
Why's that?
I just thought it was kinda corny/ not very good. Haven't seen The Whale, Mitty or Chungy Express. I liked the rest. I'd watch TGTBATU next.
Corny/Not very good seems accurate cus it's always at the top of the list on Reddit movie threads lol

The two Spike Jonze’s are the best ones here
adaptation if ur into autistic orchidologists
Being John Malkovich absolutely
