New York posts this year's Black List - the list of the top unproduced movie scripts in Hollywood.
Some of the more...interesting entries:
Sound familiar?
This is the wet dream of several posters here, I bet.
You know you want to see this made.
This is not a script, it's a plea for psychological help.

It's like the porno version of Dollhouse.
which begs the question, why are they actually producing the slightly bad scripts....
shouldn't they go with.... the good ones only?
It was bound to happen.
So how does she know they paid? she must be very trusting...
Starring Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks.

The William Gibson short story "Burning Chrome" features something very similar, and that's from 1982; it's apparently a notion some find attractive.
There's been an upward trend in STD incidence rates in the elderly over the last several years due to behavior pretty much just like this.
I don't think this is exactly blockbuster fare, but I could see this setup working for a really interesting indie flick.

It's also part of Molly's backstory in Neuromancer.
...but, yeah. There have to be better scripts than this out there that could be not made. Let alone the crap that actually gets filmed.
“An awkward teen with no self esteem regains his self-confidence after joining a Dance Dance Revolution team.â€
I'm seeing a pattern here
I don't care about the plot, but the title is pure win.

Man, I got so excited thinking it was a Venture Brothers adaptation.
Edit: Actually, scratch that. Live action Venture Brothers would be dumb.
I actually kind of like this one, though. I was having a conversation the other day with some friends where we were joking about Sir Elton John, Sir Ian MacKellan, etc. in "knight training".
I would totally watch that.

This is a good idea.
but it can be made better, if Hulk Hogan portrays a man in black armor who rides down the street on a motorcycle causing mayhem
I'm afraid it's not too likely.
No, no, I'm sorry! That was wrong. I shouldn't insult these fine actors that way. If anything, the script was the problem.
James Carville. Burn it.
"Hey, guys, I can't think of anything good. How about we just make a script about us trying to sell this movie?" "Works for me." "Can I have pecs of steel?"
Halloween release, will be bashed into pieces by Torture Porn Whatever Roman Numeral We're Up To Now-- I mean, the next Saw movie.
I don't know why you'd want this movie made and I don't want to know.
YOU WILL NOT RUIN ANY MORE OF MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES DAMMIT
The plot is probably going to be slapped together in five minutes and it's not even going to matter because the audience will be all HEE HEE LOOK AT THE WASHED-UP MIDGETS and the producers know it.
Subtitled because everything's going to be in Hollish.
This has 'worst movie of the year' written all over it and I don't know why.
No, wait, THIS has worst movie of the year written all over it and I know perfectly well why.
That kind of all-star talent would dwarf any costars they could cast.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
That's a pretty tall order.
Huh, it's funny cause I think Aintitcool reported on this script a while back, but they attribute it to Brian K. Vaughan, and on the black list they do have his script, but it's called Roundtable, with the premise being Merlin shows up in our time and must find new knights to fill the round table.
edit- Here it is.
edit 2- Whoops, after rereading the article, Roundtable features fictional knighted characters(except apparently a big secret one they're trying to get), while KNIGHTED I guess is suppose to have real knights.
You're all a bunch of assholes, making fun of people's shortcomings like that.
Seriously, you should all tone it down just a smidget.
Then I laughed.
So you're saying I should grow more as a person. That is good advice. Thanks, Tofystedeth, I will always look up to you.
What's a smidget? I'm looking in Websters and I can't find it.
