7. I'm Thinking Of Ending Things

Anyone who's familiar with writer-director Charlie Kaufman's previous film work - including Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, and Adaptation - will know to expect the unexpected when going into his movies.

And sure enough, I'm Thinking Of Ending Things is stuffed to the gills with that signature Kaufman weirdness. Maggot-infested pigs? Check. Random ballet sequences? Check. Credits that start rolling midway through the film? Also check.

It's completely and utterly bizarre, and while this makes I'm Thinking Of Ending Things a tricky one to recommend, those who've already bought into Kaufman's style - or newcomers who find that it appeals to them - will be able to see the touching story about a troubled relationship that's lurking beneath the film's surreal veneer.

Whether you hate it or you love it (obviously, we're in the latter camp), it's one of those movies that you won't be able to stop thinking about, marrying style and substance together in a thought-provoking package that only Charlie Kaufman could create.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
