Premise
John Cusack stars as a puppeteer who discovered a portal into John Malkovich's head. Written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Spike Jones.

Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall this was the first time falling in love with Kaufman's inspired writing. This film was like a giant creative punch in the face. It was absurd, unique, unusual, well-acted, darkly hilarious, and was truly inspiring for my inner screenwriter. Easily my favorite film of 1999.

What I would change
Nothing.
