whew top five thats hard, i love so many
1. Yojimbo- (the bodyguard) by akira kurosawa, the greatest film of all time. the most ripped off script of all time; here is a list of movies that hijacked the plot;
fistfull of dollars, fresh, last man standing, millers crossing, dessert heat (yes even van damme was in a yojimbo remake), most recently a viking movie called when the raven flies,and about six more that i forgot
2. fight club - of course the book is always better but this was an was an awesome screenplay too. this movie was a lot closer than anyone will ever know to a movie bruce lee wrote called the way of the silent flute, that was buthered and made into a horrible david carradine movie; the circle of iron. its funny, this movie did terrible at the box office, but is on most everybody's list here.
3. Pulp Fiction - Quentin Tarantino changed the way movies are made. his dialogue is awesome and he spawned the most imitators. funny, him being an imitator of all pop culture.
4. True Romance - quentin tarantinos first script......this movie is so overlooked but the more i watch it the more i love it(kinda like the big lebowski). the writing of this movie is so good, quentin poured his heart into it, and it shows. nobody would buy the script at the time, and now every movie tries to be like this
5. Warren Oates is Dead - hasn't been made yet, written by the guy who taught me screenwriting - this will blow your minds....when it gets made
honorable mention; Placebo, Parasites, Degenerates, To Die A Dogs Death..........whoops, a little ahead of myself, i havent quite finished making these yet. : )
