No joke, I teach this movie in my screenwriting class. Structurally it’s perfect. Every joke has a second shoe. All 8 sequences have clear breaks. How do you not cry at the end? Image
I appreciate all the love for A Knight’s Tale. Here’s a breakdown for all my writers that are structure nerds like me.

What timeless under-appreciated classic from Zack’s Favorite Films should I discuss next week?

-The Princess Bride
-My Cousin Vinny
CC @Criterion this film is overdue for a reissue on Blu Ray. Do your magic!
Here are upcoming Zack’s Movie Club picks. Bring a drink & I’ll discuss what makes my favorite films objectively great, from beat structure to character breakdowns. Fridays after #pipelinewriters!

10/21 - My Cousin Vinny
10/28 - Bedknobs and Broomsticks
11/4 - The Princess Bride
#ZacksMovieClub!

(Also hi I’m a writer/director with multiple samples—including a produced comedy pilot, a MFA from Columbia, prior experience in late night @ NBC, and an Emmy for a musical short👇🏻. I’m available for staffing! Would love to work w/ you.)
