Adaptation. (2002)

Wonderfully strange and funny, the film is about screenwriting and orchid thieves and … Nicolas Cage plays twin brothers — real screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and fictional screenwriter Donald Kaufman. Brian Cox is dead-on as script doctor Robert McKee.

Comedian (2002)



A post-“Seinfeld” Jerry Seinfeld restarts his career as a stand-up in a fascinating and funny documentary, with appearances by Colin Quinn, Bill Cosby, Robert Klein, Chris Rock and Garry Shandling. The film also follows the mildly funny and obnoxious Orny Adams.
