Misery, Rosemary's Baby, or Jaws sound ok to me.  I think the important thing is that a majority of us have seen the movie.

Jaws - The Revenge was actually a joke, as it was a terrible flick, but actually, Cornetto may be on to something with Jaws.  It was a fantasitic book and a great movie that everyone has seen.

I think Jaws would be interesting.

I have seen all three and they are all great.

I have also read Rosemary's Baby and although good, I did find it to be a slow read, but that might just be me.

Misery is a fast, but great read. Jaws I haven't read yet, but I'd cool with that one.

I tell you why In Bruges. Because it's a script that mixes drama, comedy, crime, thriller in one, and does a good job with it. Those who have seen the movie, will know what I'm trying to say. Anyway if it will be another one, so be it.

I'm a bit of a gore hound I admit, but any horror is fine with me.

NiK, no one is trying to dismiss you. It just doesn't seem that many people are familiar with it yet. I have the script, but I haven't read it nor have I seen the film. I'm sure it's great though, but since I don't know too much about it, I don't really want to vote for that one either. It's not up to me though. Everyone has a say in the pick.

No problem Pia. Just let me know what you think of the film and the script. I'd like to know your opinion.

Since we're doing horror, i'll go for Misery.

William Goldman is a master storyteller.  If you have never read his work, you really should, whatever is ultimately decided here.

"Misery" is good, but his script for "The Princess Bride" is sheer joy.

I will just toss that one out to muddy the waters.

It will be fun to see what some of you think of Goldman's wonky format.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Actually, since horror is a huge and popular genre around here, finding a solid horror script would be a really good idea. Maybe by determining why that script is considered a good one, we can shed light on why so many don't work.

Has anyone seen "The Strangers" script?  The movie was decent to good, but I would imagine the script was very short and bland.  Maybe I'm totally wrong though.  There was so little dialogue and real action.

I don't mind as long as it is a decent script and/or a film that is generally considered a good example of the genre. All the ideas put forward on here so far seem to be good choices.

I'd definitely be up for The Strangers.  I'm pretty sure that Bertino was an unproduced writer when this was optioned.  He directed as well, and it did very well at the Box Office.  Plus, it's rather recent (I see this draft was a first draft from 2004, but it would also be interesting to see what changes were made and if they were changes that made the movie the success that it was.

The success of The Strangers is that is a simple-classic horror. No Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees or whatever his name is and no Michael Myers.

The story that happens in the script, sounds like it could happen to every one, especially to you Dreamscale

Now, I'm a little confused. What are we deciding here?!
