Top Ten All Time Movie Scripts

[PigDogg]

Here's a rundown of the Top 10:

1. Casablanca (Julius J. & Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch)
2. The Godfather (Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola)
3. Chinatown (Robert Towne)
4. Citizen Kane (Herman Mankiewicz and Orson Welles)
5. All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz)
6. Annie Hall (Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman)
7. Sunset Boulevard (Charles Brackett & Billy Wilder and D.M. Marshman Jr.)
8. Network (Paddy Chayefsky)
9. Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder & I.A.L. Diamond)
10. The Godfather Part II (Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola)

[PigDogg]

The two Godfather's are two of my favorites.

Lots of other good ones here too. Never liked Chinatown though. And although I like Citizen Kane feel it's overated when it gets named as the best film ever.

Yeah, a lot is mentioned here already:

I'd like to add the fabulous "Usual Suspects" by Bryan Singer and one of my favorite Chinese movies "Houzhe" by Zhang Yimou and digging back into history let's not forget Fellinis "La Dolce Vita", "From Here To Eternity" by Fred Zinnemann and the unbeatable "Apartment" by Billy Wilder!
