Remember the days when buying screenplays used to cost a pretty penny? Actually those days never went away, with book retailers generally charging anywhere from 20 to 50 bucks for a copy of the scripts of your favourite films.
This makes the news that a (legit) American website has uploaded a tonne of screenplays and made them available for free online rather appealing. Shore Script now has 45 genre screenplays available, from writers including Stanley Kubrick, Tony Kushner, Rian Johnson, Nora Ephron and Tina Fey, among many others.
The films are an eclectic bunch, from blockbusters such as Armageddon, The Last Samurai and The Matrix to old school classics like A Clockwork Orange, Goodfellas, Robocop and The Birds. Below is a complete list of the titles available. To download them, click here.
