It starts with words on a page
The Writers Guild of America has named the 101 Greatest Screenplays of all time.Nothing controversial about the Top Ten. I doubt anyone out there is thinking,
"What!?? Casablanca, that piece of crap??!"But I feel a sense of validation regarding some of the other choices, underrated movies that rank among my all-time favorites:
Shawshank Redemption (#22)
Groundhog Day (27)
Unforgiven (30)
Moonstruck (62)
Memento (100)
What movie would you add to the list? I'm torn between Pleasantville and The Big Sleep.

It's a difficult task to consider a screenplay on its own, since the primary experience of film is visual. It makes sense, then, that adapted plays turn up a lot on the list.
