From Dead Poet’s Society to Misery, these are the best movies where writing is essential to the plot.
Writing is a noble profession: Fiction or non-fiction, novels or screenplays, poetry or journalism. Writing of all kinds brings worlds into being through words on a formerly blank piece of paper, engaging readers and bringing them to think about things in the world that they might have otherwise never paid attention to.
9 'Dead Poets Society' With director Peter Weir and star Robin Williams at the top of their game, Dead Poets Society has cemented itself as one of the most endearing gems of '80s American cinema. It's a beautiful dramedy about a teacher in a prestigious New England boys' boarding school, who uses poetry to help his students reach new heights of self-expression.
Putting a fresh spin on its genre and offering a scathing critique of fan culture, the film is an absolutely horrifying experience that makes you feel all the tension and uncertainty that the protagonist is going through. Kathy Bates's masterful Oscar-winning performance as the villain is just the cherry on top of an already great thriller.
Naked Lunch is where Cronenberg brought his creative style to the weirdest, most absurd, most surrealistic that it had ever been. It's a pretty unique kind of biopic-ish film, not so much an adaptation of William S. Burrough's novel as it is a paranoid fantasy that explores his drug-induced writing process and style.
4 'The Shining' Stanley Kubrick is usually considered one of the greatest filmmakers in the game. Although The Shining was hated by critics at the time of its release, it's now considered one of the best horror movies ever. It's about a writer, his wife, and their son, heading to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence lurks.Stephen King, who wrote the novel that the film is based on, once described the book as just a little story about writer's block.
2 'Sunset Boulevard' The iconic director Billy Wilder explored all genres that there were to explore over the course of his career, including film noir. His best work in this area is Sunset Boulevard, about a screenwriter who develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return to the spotlight.
