This is a bit of a cheesy one my friend made but again...think of it as a script...how the scenes are divided...what is the core thing communicated in each scene? How would you write it? What is the concept...the core of the idea?

Thinking about it as a space for you (as writer) to explore quirkier premises, push creative boundaries and ideas...this one's a good example...thinking again about how you would write this...a middle aged man, bearded, worn out, stands in his kitchen with a vacant look on his face. He pushes two pieces of bread down in the toaster and waits...

The best way to learn to screenwrite is to read the pros.

Right now, the Academy Awards have not been announced, but we have a pretty good feeling for which screenplays from 2021 movies will be nominated for the Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplay awards by the Academy. We've got a bunch of them in contention currently, so why wouldn't you read as many of them as possible and expand your learning?

That's why we're assembling this list of PDFs of some of the best writing of the year. As the studios make more available, we'll add more. And once the nominations are out, we'll group them below. So bookmark this page to come back to!

NOTE: These screenplays are free and legal to download for educational purposes. The studios will only keep them online throughout the awards season.

To compare the script with what we saw in the clip today (the boy and his Dad talking about death)...you can see it is very different. Part of the process, things are changed, improved upon, improvised...a script is always in flux

If you want to write movie screenplays, you need to read movie screenplays - it's just as essential as batting practice for professional baseball players. Reading in general is important, whether it's novels, comics, or the backs of cereal boxes-even if you're not paying attention, your brain is remembering hundreds if not thousands of subtle connections between language and storytelling.

Reading screenplays provides an added benefit-allowing you and your brain to see proper formatting in action. It's also vital for aspiring screenwriters to see the difference between how scenes play out on the page and how they play out on the screen. Finally, while proper screenwriting adheres to a very rigid format, it's extremely useful to see how various writers work within those rules and even use them to their advantage. Even if you know exactly what you're seeing, your brain is actively learning and your subconscious is absorbing more and stronger information with every script you read.

By reading screenplay after screenplay, you will get a sense of how you can write your own.

Here, then, are ten websites that allow you to download professional movie scripts. Start clicking and start reading today-if not for your own sake, at least do it for your brain's.
