A person who writes scipts, that is, the dialogue and actions of a movie. First drafts are often quite different to the final script which becomes a film, but the plotline usually stays similar.

Compared to directors and actors, screenwriters are way down in the food chain of fame, recognition, and money.

Get the screenwriter mug.
A film owing much of it's genius to Roger Avary in opposed to Quentin Tarantino. Quentin Tarantino did direct the film but tried to screw Roger out of it by attempting to deny him a writing credit.

Quentin and Roger's partnership has since failed and it's quite evident that Tarantino's films have gone downhill. Jackie Brown, and the 2 Kill Bill's are boring films, praised by Tarantino geeks simply because QT directed it and not because they like it.
Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are 2 very good movies. Jackie Brown and the Kill Bill's are not.
