Actually, this would make a good thread, if there isn't one on this already.....

For example, how many of the last 20 movies you've seen had an original screenplay?

You might be surprised. If it isn't based on a previous movie, it's based on a book or a video game...or something other than originality. Of course, we mustn't turn to Hollywood for originality anymore. We want spectacle...and sentimentality. That sells tickets, right?
