Top 3 Aaron Sorkin Exchanges (1:32:18)
Aaron Sorkin holds a rare status in Hollywood in that his scripts often trump the director. It’s not always the case, but often his films are labeled as “Aaron Sorkin films” even if he didn’t direct them. His writing is so well crafted and historically resonate that it’s almost become legendary at this point. And much of it boils down to verbal exchanges between characters and the riveting drama that Sorkin brings to the page. That was the focus of our Top 3 this week and boy did it make for a challenging topic given the great dialogue he’s written over the last three decades. With that said, what would be your Top 3?
