Charlie Kaufman

Remember when I was obsessed with the Coen brothers? Now I'm obsessed with someone else: Charlie Kaufman. For those who haven't heard of him, he is the brain behind Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and more. His ideas are unique, incredibly smart, and unbelievably original. His intense, brilliant writing is fantastically intriguing. I have decided to "rank" Kaufman's films once I have seen them all. But first, here's a list of the movies I've seen (an asterisk* indicates a movie I've seen):

Being John Malkovich (1999)*
Human Nature (2001)
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)
Adaptation. (2002)*
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)*
Synecdoche, New York (2008)*

Here is where the rankings will be:



And finally, here's a link to the much anticipated (by me) description of Frank or Francis.
