#7. Steve Jobs
In a year when Tarantino put out a film, it pains me (in a way) to name another script better. On the other hand, it absolutely thrills me to name Aaron Sorkin’s ‘Steve Jobs’ script the best of the heap. Wildly ambitious, Sorkin tells this (largely imagined) take on the Apple genius as a three-part play. Spread across three different product launches, the film uses fictional banter about real events to finally get at the arrogant, bruised, perfectionist, sometimes bitter heart of the man. Forget the throwaway Ashton Kutcher project; this is the seminal Steve Jobs movie. Direction Danny Boyle and stars Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, and Seth Rogen all make sure of that. No one involved is giving less than 100%. Jobs himself may have even enjoyed it, and that’s saying something.
