One of the Greatest Screenplays Ever Written

Throwback Sundays this week celebrates Being John Malkovich - a combination of Charlie Kaufman's brilliant script and Spike Jonze's wonderful choices in directing. In my opinion, "strangeness" aside, its one of the single funniest movies I have ever seen. Roger Ebert, the king of all film critics wrote,

"What an endlessly inventive movie this is! Charlie Kaufman, the writer of "Being John Malkovich," supplies a stream of dazzling inventions, twists and wicked paradoxes. And the director, Spike Jonze, doesn't pounce on each one like fresh prey, but unveils it slyly, as if there's more where that came from. Rare is the movie where the last half hour surprises you just as much as the first, and in ways you're not expecting. The movie has ideas enough for half a dozen films, but Jonze and his cast handle them so surely that we never feel hard-pressed; we're enchanted by one development after the next."
