Okay now you're gonna think I'm stalking you but I've noticed we have similar tastes, and before I opened this, I said to myself "Paul Schrader owns this thread." Excellent director too - wish he had done more.
Others not yet mentioned: Bob Rafelson, Alvin Sargent, Elaine May, Harold Ramis.

Right, I'm starting to recognize your user name. Looks like we have similar tastes.
I like all those writers you mentioned.
In my opinion, Schrader is the greatest screenwriter of all time here's his output from 1975 to 1980: The Yakuza, Taxi Driver, Obsession, Rolling Thunder, Blue Collar, Hardcore, Old Boyfriends, American Gigolo, Raging Bull. He's directed some great films. Affliction was great. I loved The Walker, too. -

I'm not sure if I have a favorite per se but one current screenwriter whose work I'm often looking forward to is John Logan.
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals. -
