Free movie scripts of some of the best films ever written for viewing and download.

Where Can I Find & Read Scripts Online?

What's going on folks.

I'm trying to start this new thing where I watch a movie & read the screenplay afterwards. I think I could learn from this significantly. Is there anywhere I can find scripts online? Legally, of course.

Also, I've googled a film title along with 'script' right besides it and have found some scripts on, for example, 'IMSDB.' But, how do I know it is the real deal and the actual screenplay by the writers and not just some guy who translated the film into a script and uploaded it?

Get screenwriting inspiration with these 9 sites for free film scripts.

One of the best ways to hone your skills as a screenwriter is to spend ample time exploring the structure and format of great films. Thankfully there is a plethora of awesome script resourced around the web, many with free downloads.

Break your writer’s block! In the following post, we’ve listed out 9 sites to find free scripts from a wide variety of films.

1. Simply Scripts

Simply Scripts is an awesome script database where you can find film scripts, as well as scripts for TV, radio, musicals, plays and unproduced projects. From Interstellar to Singing’ in the Rain you’ll likely find the script you’re looking for here. There’s a reason why Simply Scripts tops our list!

2. Internet Movie Script Database

Internet Movie Script Database is another great place to find screenplays of both old and new movies. IMSDb even allows users to sort by genre making it easier to pinpoint just action or comedy films. Scripts can also be rated on IMSDb, which is nice because sometimes scripts found online can be knockoffs rather than the actual script used for the film.

3. The Weekly Script

The Weekly Script puts out a new script every week for your reading pleasure. Instead of relying on having the largest library, the Weekly Script gets it’s charm from the curation of great screenplays. The site is also incredibly easy to navigate and minimal. In the words of the author “If you can’t find your way around this site, you shouldn’t be on the web!”

4. Screenplays for You

Screenplays for You is a script database – no frills, just scripts. SFY has hundreds of screenplays spanning decades of film production. Most of the scripts found here are shooting drafts, meaning they are formatted for the way the script looked during production rather than a reproduced script written after the movie was released.

5. John August

If you’re a screenwriter, John August is a great person to know. On his website you’ll find scripts, schedules, breakdowns, and drafts for reference. You won’t find a lot of scripts, but the ones available are all high-quality. John August is also a host on the Scriptnotes podcast where he, along side Craig Mazin, talk about screenwriting and screenplays.
