I need someone who has a pretty good imagination, watches a hell of a lot of films and television, is bored with their lives and wanting to get into the film industry somehow to write a film script with me. It is a prerequisite that they MUST like these movies: 'Fight Club', 'Pulp Fiction', 'Good Will Hunting', 'Match-Point', 'Reservoir Dogs', 'The Inside Man', 'American Psycho' & 'Sideways' among others.

It might be appropriate to explain why you "need" someone. I mean, want and need are very different things, I'm sure you would agree. "Need" makes the suggestion that you cannot live without something. Want on the other hand is a primary driver of the things we can live without, but certainly feel sometimes we need. Like a drug, perhaps. And advertising for someone who is bored with one's own life is hardly an appropriate thing for finding a suitable writing partner. Perhaps you meant, someone who has enough time to devote to such an excercise. Otherwise, you're suggesting that you want to inspire this someone out of their "boring" life and into a life of exciting screenwriting with you, me thinks. It might also assist your task to explain what kind of film you're wanting to write, instead of just suggesting common- ground around a random list of films. Good luck.
