Is there a movie you love so much you wish you had a time machine so you could go back in time and write it yourself?

Just one time machine, but I have so many favorite movies. Better if I convert my time machine novel into a movie and make it my favorite.

Back in time, eh? Gone With the Wind and Casablanca. They both set high bars that I attempt to hurdle in my writing.

Expand commentDoug - I think Gone With The Wind was an extraordinary adaptation considering the length of the book. When I read it I was amazed at how much was not incorporated into the screenplay, but still managed to capture the novel as few during that time period would accomplish. I actually like the movie more than the book. I think writers in those days were experts at abridging stories - look at the 30min radio adaptations of Casablanca, It's A Wonderful Life, Shop Around The Corner, - and hundreds more. A 30min Casablanca yet they seem to cover the whole movie. I think it's quite amazing. Captain Blood is another example of how Hollywood actually stuck with the book (albeit highly abridged); which is amazing since those were the days when studios would keep the title and pretty much write an entirely new story. They sure knew how to trim the fat.
