Jordan Peele won an Oscar for the screenplay to his directorial debut, 2017’s Get Out. Other writers to win an Academy Award in the 2010s include Quentin Tarantino, Bong Joon-ho, Spike Jonze, and Barry Jenkins, and in the decade before, Diablo Cody, Charlie Kaufman, Sofia Coppola, and Pedro Almodóvar. This group wrote some of the best movies ever, but Peele has them beat, according to the Writers Guild of America.

On Monday, the WGA released its list of the “101 Greatest Screenplays of the 21st Century (So Far).” Get Out was ranked number one, ahead of Kaufman’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Network, Bong and Han Jin Won’s Parasite, and Joel and Ethan Coen’s No Country for Old Men. Five films, five classics. Other highlights include Best Picture winner Moonlight at #6, Bridesmaidsat #12 (it’s the highest-ranked movie written by a woman, or in the case of Barb and Staricons Annie Mumulo and Kristen Wiig, women), and only two non-Pixar animated films, Spirited Away and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, at #67 and #71.

1. Get Out (2017)

[Chad Holdenford]

But there are 78 years left for this century to be over!

 

[Looney Troons]

I just don’t understand what people see in this movie. I bet I could figure it out, and it isn’t because the movie itself is subjectively good or not.

 

[Johan Schmidt]

Ibi wiba pumpe! De blck man he maka maka de filmse! He bes blck manda! bix nood!

Get Out was shit. Boring, preachy, not scary and written by a hack. What a joke.

 

[Picnic_Boy]

Lol, fine movie but it had serious tonal problems. I love seeing Stephen Root in anything, but this is an Affirmative Action pick.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

I liked the movie, but I wouldn't call it the greatest. My favorite film of this century so far is probably Birdman.

 

[Kermit Jizz]

I hate that shit like this is even newsworthy. An organization had a shit opinion, holy fucking shit.

I'm calling The Room the best thing ever made in all of creation. Write an article on that and then choke on it faggot.

 

[Unpaid Emotional Labourer]

I liked it ok until I realized that despite the fact that white people do everything in our power to avoid interacting with black people, black people continue to tell themselves that white people are obsessed with them and want to consume their black bodies. I thought the twist with the daughter was hilarious.

 

[Ingmar Aspergman]

Everyone who cums all over this film is basically the dad, and the film isn’t nearly as accusatory as it could be

 

[Johan Schmidt]

I thought the twist with the daughter was hilarious.

99% of Black peoples complaints about whites are based in the absurd delusion that whites spend any time around them, that isn't absolutely 100% necessary.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

I like the movie, but this is too much.

Maybe it's not the the movie that's that good, but rather that the century has been really lame so far.

 

[Screw Danlon]

Well, Eternal Sunshine was shit, so if that made the list, they haven’t exactly set a high bar. Sure, Get Out’s probably better.

 

[Iceland Heavy]

A variant of Mutt's law is unironically a central part of the modern black oppression narrative (wypipo hate us and/or worship us because they're absolutely obsessed with us sexually and seek to either oppress us or fawn over us because of it).

 

[Lone MacReady]

A variant of Mutt's law is unironically a central part of the modern black oppression narrative (wypipo hate us and/or worship us because they're absolutely obsessed with us sexually and seek to either oppress us or fawn over us because of it).

Like Patrice said, blacks won't be free until they get over their White obsession, living their lives constantly in negative reflection of White culture (or their twisted perception of it).

Also, don't these disproportionately semite organizations have Literal forced dieversity standards when it comes to awards now - like the Oscars not even considering your movie for awards anymore unless it has a prerequisite number of shitums in it. Hmm, what agenda could that be shoving along...

 

[The Final Troondown]

even with how shit films have been since the solar eclipse, off the top of my head the exam, unbreakable, carnage, three billboards, and the halloween remake were far better

i miss the 90s when we had stuff like se7en, the bone collector, blade, momento and the first matrix

 

[Kheapathic]

Seeing how "The Social Network" is at number 3, I have to call into question the metric of which these movies are graded. It's just a Facebook version of The Pirates of Silicon Valley, which was okay.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

Memento was good. It was also from 2000, meaning it was a 20th century movie.

Tards can't figure out a calendar, and we're supposed to listen to them about movies? Lol no.

 

[Midge Shelby1919]

In 1907, the trial of Harry Thaw was labeled the trial of the century. The moral of this story is let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

 

[The Last Stand]

What, no Joker?

 

[Mike Stoklasa]

There Will be Blood and No Country for Old Men are the only movies worth considering for a list like this. But let's be real: this list was only made to stir the pot and promote a black person because they're black.
