"To make a great film you need three things – the script, the script, and the script." — Alfred Hichcock.
As stated by many masters of cinema, the script is one of the most important aspects of a film – perhaps the most important aspect. Some may claim that images, experimentation, and atmosphere are superior, and while those contribute a lot, it's the script that creates characters that remain in your memory and change with the audience; it's the script that grants themes for the audience to question; it's the script that ultimately calls the audience to action, for better or worse. After all, look at the numerous crimes and dreams inspired by movies. Words are equally as important as celluloid. Words are what bring celluloid into existence.
Without further adieu, these are the best written movies of 2019, in no particular order. The themes, ideas, and characters in these movies will remain within you, inspiring you, challenging you, all the while making you laugh and cry.
