The 20 Best Movie Scripts listed by Film Prophet
(The pundit interpretation of a script creates its own visual appearance such as The Wizard of Oz, Jaws, The Matrix, Jurassic Park, Final Destination, and The Lord of the Rings movies, which are a genius display beyond most people's minds - those would be placed under cinematography however. Though, I obviously don't have time to read every English script, my assumption for a film to be great is it must have great working essentials from its script, so I evaluated them solely by the completed film. The fundamentals that compose of a top 20 script: poetic, smart, lyrical, & humorous writing, probing disputes, talks, & issues, defining twists, attaching characters, memorable quotes, suggestive themes, famous dialogue, impressive situations, inspiring conducts, and a high volume movement containing a desired amount of awes.)
