Suggestions... I was thinking for sure romantic comedies Hitch (#1 Pick) American Pie There's Something about Mary Forgetting Sarah Marshall Mr and Mrs. Smith You've Got Mail What Women Want As Good as it Gets Sleepless in Seattle Other Suggestions... Se7en The Prestige Any of the Die Hards The Town The Dark Night Titanic Also Scott, for those of us into TV, like sitcoms and stuff, can we do an analysis on a TV show and break down the characters that can generate many storylines, the type of humor, the writing, the jokes, the story arcs, structure, what a makes a good show last etc.

I'd love to find an example of a script revision that resulted in a so-so script becoming a great one, or at least greatly improved. Sadly, I don't have an example myself.

How about this: We've read 2 Ridley Scott Films so far, so why not continue with that. We can choose Steven Zaillian Screenplays directed by Ridley Scott i.e.: * American Gangster * Hannibal (if any of you like to continue Dr. Lecter's story) and we can continue to read Zaillian's best directed by Hwood's finest such as: Spielberg's Schindler's List Sydney Pollack's The Interpreter (One of My Favorites) And Zaillian's own: All the King's men.

Definitely Romantic Comedy and also Contained Thriller (Panic Room, Rear Window, Open Water)

Scott at 2011-10-18 19:16:55:

So I'm hearing Romantic Comedy, Horror Comedy, Contained Thriller, Action Thriller, Charlie Kaufman, Tony Gilroy, Steve Zaillian. Maybe we do three genre selections and one writer-specific selection.

Michael Clayton - I think the recent resurgence of adult-oriented dramas has a LOT to do with the fact that Michael Clayton was a hit and was nominated for a boatload of Oscars. And that script is phenomenal. Easy A - perhaps one of the only great recent comedy specs? Se7en - a different side to the serial killer coin, phenomenal script, R-rated worldwide hit. If we wanted to do action-thrillers, I don't know that there's been a better one than The Bourne Ultimatum in the 2000s. For Horror-Comedy, I'd say Shaun of the Dead, but that script has never really appeared on the internet as "widely available," as far as I know.

Lost In Translation? I would love to see this reviewed. I know the writer/director is the daughter of one of the greats and that probably helped her getting this script into production... But from a purely artistic level I would love to see this deconstructed!

Mixed genre sounds fun, maybe romantic horror comedy for Halloween. The Frighteners comes to mind, sadly not available, nor is Lake Placid, but The Mummy is available, lots of drafts. Shaun of the Dead would be awesome. For action thriller, that's largely contained, various Drive drafts are available. For Charlie Kaufman, Eternal Sunshine is available and might be a nice counterpoint to Blade Runner's handling of memory etc.

If it's not too late, I'd like to suggest looking at a tearjerker, a movie purposefully trying to make the audience cry. Very curious about how this plays out in the script.
