Like a movie? Make a suggestion!?
Question by The Dude: Like a movie? Make a suggestion!?
I want to improve my screenwriting abilities. People recommend I read as many screenplays as I can for all sorts of different types of movies. I decided I wanted to take this a step further and rewrite word for word each screenplay I read.
I decided to set a goal for this year. 100 screenplays read and copied within 365 days. I’m asking y’all for suggestions for different screenplays. Whatever movie you really liked, please post it. Let’s see if we can get a big list started today!
Thanks!
Actually Runningbear, I have written two screenplays. One feature length and one short. Both of which I was unsatisfied with. I have a friend that has sold a couple screenplays look over mine. He says I need to practice more. I figured perhaps I can pick up a thing or two by copying prefessional screenplays. I have access to thousands of screenplays (most of what I have seen don’t have camera angles/shots in them). Thanks for your concern, but I think this will be very beneficial to me.
Plus, RunningBear, you didn’t recommend a movie! 😉

I don’t know if you’re adding musicals too, but I really liked “Hello Dolly!” with Barbra Streisand. If you’re not, I suggest watching The King’s Speech. That is one of my all time favorites.
Good luck!
