I feel like I don't do a lot of blind watches because I always feel the need to look at the synopsis before watching or maybe even a trailer. I really need to just start going in blind which I plan to do more, as this may have deterred me from watching great movies over the years. I watched Bring Her Back completely blind and I'm so glad I did
Suggestions!
I've noticed that every time the discussion about best scripts comes up these days everyone always refers back to movies from 40, 50 years ago. Also one of the biggest critiques of modern movies is that the writing is just not as strong. 'The golden age of television stole all the good writers' is a common refrain. I'm not disputing this as I agree the best written movies I can think of are from decades ago. But it got me thinking, there are have got to be a bunch of movies these days that have great scripts so I wanted to try to highlight those.
I'll start. The Banshees of Inishirin is a spectacular script structurally, thematically, and in terms of dialogue. I find myself getting totally lost in the world each time I watch it because of the incredible words and story from McDonagh.
So what are the most well-written movies from the past ten years in your opinion?
