- Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the best Kaufman production because of the collaborative filmmaking, and how the writer's ideas are interpreted by the cast and director.
- Synecdoche, New York (2008) Without any context, Synecdoche, New York is a tough watch due to the heavy thematic material about death. And when factoring in the tragic 2014 demise of lead actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, the film becomes even more challenging in retrospect.
- Being John Malkovich (1999) Much like late '90s movies such as Fight Club and The Usual Suspects, Being John Malkovich benefits from the surprise element.
- Adaptation (2002) Adaptation builds upon the neurotic, meta premise of Kaufman's feature debut script for Being John Malkovich. Both projects were directed by Spike Jonze, whose polished filmmaking boosts all the eccentricities of Kaufman's characters.
