美國人選出了101部最佳電影劇本，可是媒體都只報導前十名，其他的91部作品是什麼？
新聞報導，有時候只是浮光掠影，湊湊熱鬧，簡單訊息講完之後，就結束了，想要深度解饞，想要深入鑽研，專業解讀就很重要，做了不少深度經營的網路、雜誌、書本都會比一般新聞來得好看的原因即在於此。
美國編劇協會四月七日宣布了電影史上「101部最佳電影劇本」，這份排行榜是由美國編劇協會去年夏天發函給全體會員，根據一千四百多部知名電影劇本中評選而出的結果。
今天各媒體的主要內容只有兩個重點，一，前十名的排行名單，二，作品入選率最高的大編劇，大導演。就新聞論新聞，把「101部最佳電影劇本」的前十名作品從《北非諜影》、《教父》、《唐人街》、《大國民》、《彗星美人》、《安妮霍爾》、《紅樓金粉（即《日落大道》）》、《螢光幕後》、《熱情如火》到《教父續集》都按排名排列出來，是最基本的新聞內容；另外，再從統計學出發，標舉伍迪．艾倫、法蘭西斯．柯波拉以及比利．懷德三位大導演都各自有四部劇本上榜，也是肯定他們編劇功力，服務影迷的基礎工程。
但是，光看這樣的訊息，如果你就滿足了，你很難說自己是影迷哦，一般的影迷應該都會問自己：「這十部，我看過幾部？」其次，則是「如果我想看沒看過的十大劇本作品，到那裡可以看得到？」再來則是應該問自己：「其他的91部優秀作品是那些？」或者「這前十名的劇本到底有什麼特色？」
第一個問題，大家的答案各不相同；第二個問題可以在「百視達」或「亞藝影音」中找到答案，畢竟這十部作品中除了《彗星美人》和《螢光幕後》稍嫌冷門了些（我的意思是台灣的影碟商人並沒有發行正式授權版），但是諸如《熱情如火》和《大國民》雖然發行過精緻版，但是數量極少，目前幾乎找不到合法授權版本，只剩公共版權失效前台灣片商自行翻製的版本，字幕錯譯相當嚴重，畫質也不夠好。
第三、四個問題則可以到美國編劇協會（Writers Guild of America）的官網上去尋寶，按以下的網址http://www.wga.org/subpage_newsevents.aspx?id=1684 去點選，就可以看到全部101部作品的名單；同時，也就可以看到前十名作品的一些幕後趣聞。
.
這就是專業與熱鬧的區別所在。
編劇協會的票選活動目的當然是要肯定編劇的成就，讓前輩先賢的努力都能流傳全世，是協會的天職，但是光有名單，沒有內容，很難交代的，網路的可愛就在於讓看熱鬧的人湊熱鬧，然而想要看門道的人，可以另有門道可看。
以十大中佔有兩席之地的《教父》而言，最關鍵的兩位編劇當然就是小說原著馬里歐．普佐（Mario Puzo）和兼任編劇的導演柯波拉（Francis Ford Coppola）。讓影迷們知道普佐在寫「教父」小說時，已經破產，卻能靠著二十頁的故事大綱就騙得了蘭燈書屋的出版合約，同時也告訴影迷，柯波拉早在 UCLA唸書時就展露才情，得到了山姆．高德溫編劇獎，因而能早早進入影壇，既編又導，都是有趣的作家成名史。
至於柯波拉的用字太文雅，普佐還要修改柯波拉的劇本文字，以符合黑手黨人特質的故事，也是很有趣的一堂編劇課。原本，柯波拉在描寫黑手黨徒Clemenza 在油炸香腸時，用了「browns」這個字，但是普佐認為黑手黨徒不用「browns」這個字，於是改成了最平民化的「fries」香腸。
此外，柯波拉認為《教父續集》和一般的續集電影不一樣，他的概念是就像一部小說的「第二篇章（part two）」，影像風格、攝影美學和人物性格都要首尾一貫，更重要的是柯波拉最想拍的故事概念是「一對父子在相同年紀時所做的事」，因為柯波拉相信「從父親身上，你可以看出兒子未來的可能發展；從兒子身上，你可以看出父親的影響」，任何想從事編劇的人，一定可以從這兩句話上得到相當的啟發。
對我而言最有趣的分析就是「教父橘子學」。
熟悉《教父》的朋友都不會忘記，馬龍．白蘭度就是在水果攤買橘子時遇伏中槍，可是你一定要成精了，才會發覺橘子是《教父》中的噩運符，只要有人吃橘子或玩橘子時，一定就會有悲劇發生，信不信？不信的人請重看《教父》，你一定會赫然發覺：「這是真的！」當然，知道就好，請不要告訴親民黨人，他們會難過的。
