All you film buffs out there, working in a literature dept., I guess my film experience is not as profound and far-reaching as yours. So, two requests: 1) Does anybody know significant films on writing for the screen (other than the Coens' 'Barton Fink' or Altman's 'The Player' which come to my mind first 2) Can anybody think of films which center around TV, as in Lumet/Chayefsky Network or Nichols' Kosinski adapt. 'Being There'? Is my imprssion correct that TV is not as hot an issue in film as it used to be in the late seventies or early eighties?
