If you want to be a great screenwriter, one of the quickest routes is to READ lots of great scripts. As Jim Meyers and I discussed on the recent HER MINOR THING podcast, it’s even better if you can read unproduced screenplays (GOOD unproduced screenplays … not drek). So, here’s a list of screenplay sites to help you in your quest!

• All Movie Scripts

• The Daily Script
• JoBlo’s Movie Scripts
• Horror Scripts
• The Movie Page
• Science Fiction/Fantasy Scripts
• Simply Scripts
• Leon’s Scripts

Some of my most treasured scripts include an unproduced Joe Eszterhas script and a very early draft of Melissa Matheson’s KUNDUN. I love the unproduced screenplay because I can picture it in my head with interference from the existing film. I love the early KUNDUN because I can compare it with the final and see how they altered the original concept for the film.
