Rank your favorite films written by Charlie Kaufman

Charlie Kaufman is, at least in my opinion, one of the best screenwriters today. The films he writes are absolutelty brilliant, and I started this thread so we can rank our favorite films written by Charlie Kaufman. It was hard to make a list from best to worse because all his screenplays are terrific, but here's my list:

1. Being John Malkovich

2. Adaptation.

3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

4. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

5. Human Nature

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2. Being John Malkovich
3. Adaptation
4. Human Nature
5. Confessions of the Dangerous Mind

Being John Malkovich is still his best.

Obviously, you didn't see my list.

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, A+
2. Adaptation, A
3. Being John Malkovich, A
4. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, A-
5. Human Nature, B+

01. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (d. Michel Gondry, 2004)
02. Being John Malkovich (d. Spike Jonze, 1999)
03. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (d. George Clooney, 2002)
01. Adaptation (d. Spike Jonze, 2002)

That's me rating the films, by the way. If I were to rate the screenplays themselves, Adaptation would be infinitely higher...

I haven't seen Human Nature, but here's how I'd rank and grade those other four...



1. Being John Malkovich, A+
2. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, A-
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, B
4. Adaptation, B-

I actually believe his scripts are much better than the finished products, but I can only honestly rate the finished products, and therefore, I'm DAMNED!

1. Being John Malkovich (high B)
2. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (B)
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (C+) [the horror...]
4. Adaptation (C+)
5. Human Nature (C+)

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is his best.

I believe that, though, because Gondry gave the film some heart. His other films are clever and interesting, but I think they lack heart and they feel like cerebral exercises only.

I've only seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (which is a very good movie) and I think I saw Adaptation when I was like 11 and didn't understand what good movie be.

To Adidass:
My musical compatibility with diezelpower is: Very Low Music you have in common includes System of a Down, Daft Punk and Serj Tankian.
