Crave Online’s staffers pick their favorite films (they call them “movies” cuz they aren’t as pretentious as we are) about writers. We would’ve done the same thing here at TVWriter™, but, you know – we don’t have much of a staff. And this particular topic reminds us that we’re so green we don’t really know all that much about what it’s like to be writers either.

Writers are often told to “write what you know,” and so it makes a lot of sense that so many books, movies, plays and TV shows are about writers. But writing is a difficult experience to express visually, and even more difficult to dramatize to those who may not write themselves, and so many movies about writers – like, it must be said, many movies in general – suck out loud.
