Amar Soadara:
Long long time. It has been a while. Thanks for your message on my cell a while ago.
You are right. You cannot forget Kaufman (to add to your list} Confessions of a Dangerous Mind directed by Geroge Clooney.
Infact the interesting thing to note, is that the movie is a deviation from the actual script. I remmber reading that somewhere. The script is availabel from scriptorama.
We will get to his scriptures a little later into the thread.

I would start with QT and his scripts and his later acrimonus relation with ROger Avery who has distanced himself after some great collaborative work. They actually worked for the same video rental store. Coming up.

Guyz:
The mid nineties storywriting was dominated by young turks. Roger Avery and the erstwhile QT came up with Reservoir dogs and the Oscar winning Pulp fiction. Natural Born Killers directed by Oliver Stone chronicles :JFK,Nixon, Reagan and yes!! Alexander was the director of the movie. People say that QT was so upset that he lierally choked the producer in a local bar and has an on again off again feud with Oliver Stone.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon received an oscar around the same time for Good Will Hunting.
Manoj Knighty Syamalan is truly bi-modal though few will agree. It is hard to belive that he was the story writer of Stuart Little and at the same time Sixth Sense and Unbreakable
Arriaga is ruimored to have written Ameros Perros and 21 grams for about five years and both of them are a treat to watch.
Additionnaly QT had the story of Inglorious Bastards ready in the mid -nineties, but had to wait a long time for his cast. Now he has opted for the yet-to-be-names Mandarin film on Kungfu and halted Inglorious midaway.
The Christofer's Nolan:Memento and McQuarrie's: Usual Supects were great original scripts. Needless to mention the OScars shine on McQuiire in 1995.
I would like others to feed in more information about original story writing between 1990- 2005 so that we cna learn from one an other. I intend to add material on non-periodic basis.
Have fun.
