Being as fond of writers as I have always been, it has been fascinating for me over the years to become more aware of what movies come from the pen of the same person. So, like any good sleuth, I have looked them up, always finding a few surprises along the way. Of the 25 people listed, some have written an original work, some are adaptations of previously-published works and some are cowritten with others not mentioned. I have not specified which is which.
