Name the screenwriter
This idea just popped into my head. I don't know if there will be any interest, but this will work the same way as the name the actor/actress thread. Post shots from at least three movies a particular screenwriter has done. I'll start with an easy one.

Buck Henry?

Re: Name the screenwriter
Indeed. Catch-22, What's Up, Doc? and To Die For

The middle shot is from the '76 version of A Star is Born, which makes the answer John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion?

Re: Name the screenwriter
It's only the one guy. Your turn.

The film's IMDB page credits both as co-screenwriters...anyway...

Re: Name the screenwriter
Claire, to me, this seems very hard. How would we know who the screenwriter is? (Obviously, posters above me know.)
Don’t think I would know a screenwriter if I fell over her. |

Re: Name the screenwriter
All of these games are like that, especially as they have gone on longer and all the brand names have been done more than once. I happen to know a lot of screenwriters by name and their credits, but the ones Gideon pulled already I didn't know off the top of my head. But I recognized Easter Parade and Lady in the Dark. From there it's a really quick trip to the IMDb to get their names and for me to figure out the third flick.
But if you don't want to play that way you don't have to. For those of us who like these games it's fun to at least see, oh, I didn't realize the same person who wrote such and such also wrote that or I forgot they did that early in their career or whatever. If that level of movie trivia doesn't interest you that is both fine and dandy. |

Society Lawyer + Easter Parade + Lady in the Dark NEXT Don't recognize that shot of William Atherton but the middle shot looks like Bruce Dern in Coming Home, which would make the answer Waldo Salt? |
Re: Name the screenwriter
Correct.
Waldo Salt The Day of the Locust, Coming Home, and The Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqwoE2u1c88 |

Re: Name the screenwriter
Way too old for me.

Whenever he gets around to it, Holden should know this one.
|
Re: Name the screenwriter
Are we waiting indefinitely for Holden to get this?
