I just rewatched Steve Jobs and absolutely adored it. And yes, while the superb acting and Danny Boyle's fun visual choices played a part in that (love Boyle!), what REALLY sold the movie for me was Sorkin's script.

I know Sorkin has become a punching bag as of late — his last two movies weren't great, fair enough — but I think we gotta give credit where credit's due. When he was on his A-game, he was one of the greatest screenwriters in film/TV history.

And yet, I constantly see people giving more credit to his collaborators, whether its actors (Nicholson or Pitt in A Few Good Men/Moneyball) or directors (Fincher in Social Network). But I truly believe none of those movies would be NEARLY as good without those quippy, almost cartoonishly clever walk-and-talk Sorkin scripts. Plus, The West Wing is entirely Sorkin's baby, and that show (at least, the first few seasons) absolutely rules.

I know he has his low points — please, we don't need to bring up The Newsroom or Studio 60, everybody has their flops — but I just wanted to give Sorkin a shout out. The dude can write some fabulously entertaining and quotable dialogue.
