Since its launch in 2005, the Black List has released a slew of unproduced screenplays for Hollywood to create projects. Each year the organization takes votes from film executives, this year using feedback from 250 people, and compiles a list of the most liked scripts- where they’re either adapted into films or left behind.

Besides finding studio homes for thousands of scripts, the Black List films have won countless awards and have become some of pop culture’s favorite series and films- from Juno to Inglourious Basterds. Here are TV Wasteland’s top ten picks out of the 66 screenplays featured in the 15th annual Black List.
