Ummm...Why is there no thread here, just a thread title?
Edit: But as I replied the original thread has now appeared! How strange.

I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it. The bit where John Malkovich enters his own brain was hilarious!:
*John Malkovich in a restaurant sat opposite a female version of himself*
Female Malkovich: "Malkovich, Malkovich?"
The Real Malkovich: "...................MALKOVICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
lol

I love it. Brilliantly original. But some people find it just too weird.
John Cusack is great in it too. So weird and dodgy, but really gorgeous too ^_^

Very wierd story, and a bittersweet ending, if you've never seen this go watch it!

Love this film.
Charlie Kaufman has been responsible for some truly brilliant but weird films over the years. If anything, BJM is the sanest of them, LOL.

They are . "Adaptation" (possibly the cleverest movie ever made) and "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" are works of mad, and I do mean MAD genius.

Just such a great experience to watch a movie unfold in front of you and have absulutely no idea where it is going or what the hell it is about.
In these days of movie trailers and internet/media hype that basically spell out the plot of movies for our 'benefit', such movies are a goRABend.

Charlie Kaufman has probably been the most interesting person in Hollywood over the last 10 years.
Being John Malkovich is the only one I would classify as weird, in so much as its large amount of absurd surrealism.
Adaptation is brilliantly clever, and I think it does a great disservice to the film to use the adjective weird. Certainly, the two parts (screen writer with writers' block, and orchid hunting) are by themselves unremarkable, with its brilliance coming from how Charlie interwove the two.
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, using a science fiction device to study the power of love, is no weirder than the premise behind something like Minority Report or I, Robot.
After Eternal Sunshine, he made his directorial debut with Synecdoche, New York. If you thought describing his previous work was difficult... It's fundamentally the story of a theatre directory who creates a giant recreation of his own life. Except it's not really a movie with a recognisable traditional plot arch. Its certainly wasn't a commercial success (so its unlikely he's sat counting his money), and divisive with the critics.
