Najzabawniejsze scenariusze filmowe w historii

Annie Hall

Członkowie Gildii Scenarzystów Amerykańskich wybrali 101 najzabawniejszych scenariuszy filmowych. Na szczycie tego zestawienia znalazła się praca Woody'ego Allena i Marshalla Brickmana do filmu "Annie Hall". Całe zestawienie to historia głównie amerykańskiego kina, ale na szczęście nie tylko.

Kolejne miejsca na liście zajęły "Pół żartem, pół serio", "Dzień świstaka", "Czy leci z nami pilot?" oraz "Tootsie". W zestawieniu znalazły się liczne klasyki, a najstarszy z nich to "Gorączka złota" z 1925 roku (94. miejsce). Wśród nowych komedii są też "Druchny" i to na wysokiej 16. pozycji oraz "Borat" (29), "Kac Vegas" (30) oraz "40-letni prawiczek" (31).

W pierwszej 15. zestawienia są trzy scenariusze Mela Brooksa ("Młody Frankenstein", "Producenci" oraz "Płonące siodła") oraz Harolda Ramisa. W czołówce jest też Stanley Kubrick oraz "Monty Python i święty Graal" (ale "Żywot Briana" to dopiero 26.). Pierwszy film z braćmi Marx zajął 17. miejsce. Swoje scenariusze mają w tym zestawieniu bracia Coen (m.in. "Big Lebowski" na 13.), trio ZAZ oraz wiele razy Charles Chaplin (choć w drugiej części zestawienia). Świętujący 30-lecie premiery "Powrót do przyszłości" znalazł się na 67. miejscu. Na miejscu 101 jest "Zakochany Szekspir".
