Oct 16, 2020 · We revisit and rank every movie Aaron Sorkin has written, from A Few Good Men to Moneyball to The Social Network.
- Adam Chitwood
- Senior Staff Writer
- Charlie Wilson’s War. Beginning at the bottom, this regrettable 2008 misfire saw Sorkin test the limits of Tom Hanks’ legendary likability by asking the actor to play the real-life Congressman responsible for arming Al Qaeda colleagues the Mujahideen.
- Steve Jobs. Where David Fincher’s cool, measured direction helped tone down the more dramatic flourishes of The Social Network’s screenplay, Trainspotting director Danny Boyle proves a bad match for the writer in this uneven biopic.
- Molly’s Game. A crime drama anchored by Jessica Chastain’s solid performance in the title role, Molly’s Game is Sorkin’s 2017 directorial debut and the movie proves that as far as directors go, he’s a great writer.
- Enemy of the State. This one is low less because of quality and more because of Sorkin’s limited involvement. The screenwriter only added uncredited rewrites to Rumble Fish s creenwriter David Marconi’s original screenplay, a tense and blackly comic spy thriller for the ages.
Oct 5, 2022 · 1 The Trial of the Chicago 7. Netflix. While Molly's Game may be argued to be Sorkin's best film, his 2020 film The Trial of the Chicago 7 earns his top spot, having been nominated for an...
- Steve Jobs (2015) The ability to take something dull (like a tech launch) and make it as entertaining as Steve Jobs did? That's only the second best thing that Aaron Sorkin achieved with this film.
- The Social Network (2010) Here's the film that finally earned Aaron Sorkin his Oscar. The Social Network tells the tale of Mark Zuckerberg's rise to power as the CEO of Facebook—and the enemies he made along the way.
- Moneyball (2011) Moneyball represented a change in pace for Sorkin. He turned back to the sporting world for the first time since Sports Night, and alongside co-writer Steve Zaillian, he wrote a film about the surprising success of the Oakland Athletics baseball team.
- A Few Good Men (1992) The original Sorkin feature film is still one of his best to this day. As courtroom dramas go, you're hard-pressed to find many that are out-and-out more entertaining than this.
