Who do you think are the best screenplay writers of all time. And I don't mean writer-directors like Coppola or Woody Allen; I mean people whose work was distinctive even in films directed by other people.
We know Salim-Javed will make the cut. I'd also include Charlie Kauffman, maybe Nora Ephron; even though both of them turned director later in life, their primary success was as a screenplay writer.
Any more names on the list?

Without question it is GEORGE S. KAUFMAN, who wrote the screenplays for some of the immortal Marx Brothers movies. He also won the PULITZER PRIZE twice.
