      Your list is based on insufficient input and personal opinion..
      How is this possible you say ??
      Well, lets say your opinion is based on 500 films, that you have seen.
      But.Joe Blow or Mary Smith have seen 10,000 films, or 20 times more films then you have seen, their opinion would be based on more input.
      I have seen over 100,000 films so my input is based on better databut it would still be just " My Personal Opinion."

          Braeden, Blackbelt
          You are correct, the original post did not have a minimum number of films for a person to have seen, in order to base their opinion on..so lets say someone saw 5 crappy filmsand that person had a foot fetishone of the bad films was "Attack of the 500 Smelly Feet"..so that person would post "Attack of the 500. is the best movie in the universe !

            Well thats the whole thing with these boards, or anything else you might read or hear: take everything with a grain of salt. One should try and take into account many factors when debating or comparing information with another's. However, it would be wrong for you, or anyone else for that matter, to talk down to someone for their personal preference or opinion.
            For the record, just because someone has seen more films than someone else, doesn't mean that person will be able to judge a movie better, have a better taste in film, or know anything more than the other person might. For example, Mr. Foot Fetish could have, in my opinion, a far superior taste in film to you, even though he has seen fewer movies.

              I agree, for sure.
              I mean really that foot fetish film rocked.

                  Its on my top 5 for sure.
                  And yes, I bet Braeden does have an opinion about the scent of Juno's feet. For, there has never been a time in my life where he was without an opinion.
                  They are however, usually right.

                        Probably Taxi Driver. I don't know how it wasn't nominated for original screenplay though.

                              he above poster's name is Timothy Williams from Brisbane Australia. He is probably best known as Chemical_Dali but he uses several different sock puppets on multiple websites, not just stalking and harassing me, but several other individuals too.
                              He has mental health problems of which he refuses to find help for.
                              You can find his imdb page here:
                              http://www.imdb.com/board/25577398/?ref_=tt_ov_dr
                              He's the true definition of a coward who likes to harass people online and post their photos on the internet.
                              If you want to see how fat he is, take a look at his flab here:
                              http://www.anony.ws/i/2015/09/26/TimothyWilliams.jpg
                              He's a very desperate individual who logs onto imdb with countless sock puppets pretending to people that he's a big shot screenwriter who gets paid upto $150,000 per rewrite job
                              but in reality he's a sound recordist who can barely get by working on student films.
                              He can also be seen in the following video 'Woollo (2011)" at the top of this vimeo page:
                              https://vimeo.com/channels/554465/44783671
                              between the 14:20 to 14:40 mark dressed as a construction worker who says the line "Well, someone's stole our wood."

                                    Hmm, "the greatest original screenplay" implies one but you've listed 5, so I guess I'll do the same haha
                                    Song of the Sea, Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums, Up, and Little Miss Sunshine.
                                    However, early word for Inside Out seems pretty amazing, and after what the director did on Up, I wouldn't be surprised to see Inside Out's screenplay - which is sure to be complicated and deep with all the emotions and switching back and forth between inside and outside the mind - turn out to be amazing and make some big waves.
