Being John Malkovich
Why this pick
Its workplace malaise and identity panic are filtered through sharply surreal comedy, with characters pursuing meaning in hilariously misguided ways.

The Darjeeling Limited
Why this pick
This is another stylized, emotionally prickly ensemble in which spiritual searching, sibling conflict and comic artificiality coexist.
04
Flirting with Disaster
Why this pick
David O. Russell's earlier road comedy shares Huckabees' volatile ensemble, restless camera energy and affection for people behaving irrationally under pressure.

Adaptation.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Albert Markovski is a young man who heads the local chapter of an environmental group, the "Open Spaces Coalition". One of their current projects is an attempt to stop the building of a new Huckabees store, a chain of "Big-box store" department stores. Albert is a rival of Brad Stand, a shallow power executive at Huckabees. Brad infiltrates Open Spaces and charismatically displaces Albert as the leader. Dawn Campbell is Brad's live-in girlfriend and the face and voice of Huckabees; she appears in all of the store's commercials.
