5 Best Sites for Free Downloadable Screenplays
The best way to learn is often by example. Whether you’re an aspiring screenwriter or a veteran looking for some inspiration, reading through scipts of established films and television shows is a great way to learn more about your craft.
Here are five great sites for free downloadable screenplays. I looked for sites with healthy content lists and functional site design. If you don’t see a particular script in one site, go down the list and try another. You never know what you might find.
Simply Scripts - Not only does Simply Scripts include movie screenplays, but it also provides a good number of television scripts, musicals, plays and a handful of foreign films in their native languages.
Screenplays for You - The greatest strength of this site is its clean design and quick navigation: no dead links and a fast server.
The Internet Movie Script Database - Touted as “the world’s largest movie script resource,” IMSDb offers scripts for even newer films like Hanna and Bridesmaids (you know you want it). Sadly, there are a few annoying pop-ups.
The Weekly Script - With new scripts added each week, The Weekly Script offers properly formatted .txt files for universal accessibility.
Subscene - Rather than scripts, Subscene provides subtitle text along with the time codes for each entry. The site is particularly helpful if you’re looking for dialogue of rare foreign films in their native languages.
