THE BLACK LIST

2005

THE BLACK LIST was compiled from the suggestions of over 90 film executives and high-level assistants, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in or are somehow uniquely associated with 2005 and will not be released in theaters during this calendar year. All reasonable effort was made to confirm the information contained herein. THE BLACK LIST apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation identification, and questionable 2005 affiliations. If no representation information is listed, THE BLACK LIST could not determine whether or not the writer is currently represented. If they are not, it is so indicated. THE BLACK LIST is not a best of list. It is, at best, a most liked list. Enjoy.

THE BLACK LIST is well aware of the irony of its name.
