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.
Name the screenwriter
→ in Games and Tabs
The great Paul Schrader. American Gigolo, Raging Bull, and Hardcore.

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

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.

If you don't know who wrote the movie you recognize look it up. In that sense is it any different than the other games? It's just classifying the movies differently.
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.

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?
