I'll post the genre and you reply with what you think of as an example of good writing.

... is not a valid answer (ha, fooled y'all!)

The Godfather is my actual answer.

But I guess that could go the other way.

The Henry Fonda flick. I haven't seen the more recent film of that title.

I saw this for the first time not too long ago, and the writing is what left the biggest impression on me. Which as I recall, rarely happens when I see a movie. Probably because like most people, I see a movie as actors being filmed, not screenplays being acted.

But the writing felt textbook tight while still managing to be a lot of fun. Seems like the kind of script you would study, if you were into such a thing.

The movie was better than the play.

Please explain. A lot of good comedies contain dramatic structure (Sandy Mackendrick said "Comedy is drama, only faster."). But do you really see this as much a drama as a comedy?

I'm not sure what I'd say for Best Romantic Comedy or regular comedy.

To me, a comedy and drama.

Sharp, dense, smart. Along with Mr. Show and Seinfeld, probably the best written show I've ever seen.

Very surprised to hear there was actually very little improvisation on the show.

Now that it's become more rare to catch an episode from this period, when I do, I'm just in awe of how funny everything is. And the stories actually have heart. Such a golden age.

I didn't even realize Conan wrote the "Homer Goes to College" episode. That one's fantastic

I've heard the jokes so many times I need to give episodes a few years before I come back to 'em, but they're the best.

This stuff was funny for all people of all ages and taught as well as entertained.

Frasier's probably the best though, they came up with such a variety of humour for so long
they had all the character comedy, situational comedy, farces, drama, but they could also always be depended on for witticisms, something a lot of comedies slack on (in Friends the jokes usually revolved round the characters doing their stock reaction... like Joey reacting stupidly, Phoebe reacting wierdly, Chandler supplying the obvious piss take, etc)

Althought at the moment, All-Star Superman is writing a love letter to the genre while transcending it all at once.

from me.

Morrison is a great great writer and easily the most exciting person working in mainstream comics today. But Moore is just flat out the greatest mind to grace the medium.

I've been compiling a lot of his indie/lesser known shit on my harddrive lately and it's every bit as good as his 'major' work. I'm gonna drop some YSI links on y'all in the next day or two...

Or, No Country for Old Men, for heavier material.

I'd never heard of it. Looks good, and with your recommendation, that seals the deal.

Have you read Man Gone Down? I won't say that it's the best writing in the world, but it's a worthy first novel, with an interesting perspective.
