A New List That Planet Earth Desperately Awaits: the 101 Greatest Screenplays
Posted by Ross

As you might have gathered from the title of this gripping piece, the WGA (aka Writers Guild of America), the institution in which I am a proud member has decided to do some sort of list or something about the 101 Greatest Screenplays.

Anyway, they let us members pick our ten favorites and then send them in as a way of spreading the sweet elixir of list democracy.

And for the sake of posterity (not to mention posterior - as you sit on that place when you watch these movies, or something), these are my 10 picks, in no particular order aside from alphabetical:

1) Aliens
2) Animal House
3) The Big Lebowski
4) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5) Dr. Strangelove
6) The Graduate
7) Lawrence of Arabia
8) Sullivan's Travels
9) The Thin Man
10) The Wild Bunch
