The 25 Best American Screenplays of the 21st Century

"Any consideration of the best movies of the past 18 years takes on new context when considered exclusively in terms of their screenplays. There are some obvious masters of the form, such as Charlie Kaufman and Kenneth Lonergan, not to mention the clockwork-like precision of the Pixar story factory, which is why they all have two films on this list. Many of the films here were robbed of Oscar nominations, including from David Fincher's "Zodiac" to Christopher Nolan's "Memento," but that doesn't take anything away from their merits.
In that spirit, here is IndieWire's list of the best American screenplays of the last two decades."
