Set during the 1979 hostage crisis in Tehran, the amazing true story was eventually optioned by Warner Brothers (NYSE: TWX) and caught the eye of Ben Affleck, who signed on to direct and star in the film. In 2010, Chis Terrio’s screenplay “Argo” found its way to the list. The film, which chronicles the origins of the Facebook phenomenon, earned eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. In 2009, “The Social Network” appeared on the list and went on to become one of the most acclaimed films of 2010. Some notable films that once appeared on the Blacklist include “The Queen” and “Little Miss Sunshine,” which both landed on the list in 2005, and “Juno,” which was listed in 2007.
