    Match Cut Writers Consensus - Charlie Kaufman

    One of the very few screenwriters who's generally considered to be an auteur in his own right.

    Can you think of any other examples? Aaron Sorkin, maybe?

    No guarantee I'll actually tally the results, but post your lists.

    In case tallying does eventually happen, please follow the format of the original threads to make the job easier: chronological order with a rating from 1
    to 10 (half-points allowed) next to each movie.

    Aaron Sorkin definitively. Also Robert Towne and, though I don't like him, Shane Black.

    So are we scoring this based on the writing or the results of the movie?

    David Mamet.
