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.

6. The Daily Script
If the Weekly Script wasn’t enough for you, you will love the Daily Script. The site boasts one of the largest collections of scripts online, as well as an extensive collection of TV scripts.
7. Movie Scripts and Screenplays
Television Scripts Online Free
In line with the Daily Script, Movie Scripts and Screenplays is a no-nonsense site with scripts, links and…that’s about it! The site does not appear to be actively updated, so go elsewhere if you’re looking for a recent screenplay.

The mods have done a lot of work to grow this sub but recently this sub has become a Wild West. I asked them to add me as a mod so that I could fix some of these problems.
Now, let's go over some issues I have already started fixing:
Post titles and script info
Some post titles have just been 'I need feedback' with a link to the script and no other info. That's just not good enough. Most of the people giving feedback want clean and direct info before they even think about clicking a link. So all titles from now on will have to look somewhat like this: 'Spiderpig (Adventure/Comedy, 96 pages)'. You must include: title, genres, page count.
Don't make readers irritated before they have even opened the script.
Also, always write a logline and points you want feedback on in the script. More info = better. More info will give you more and higher quality readers for sure. Some people giving feedback are very critical and when they spot such laziness/mistake as people not even having a script title they don't read the script. When you spend a month writing a script please do the extra work and write a title and logline too.
Post flairs
Also, I changed the flairs on posts. Single genre flairs makes little sense as scripts like Passengers are both sci-fi and romance. I will try to figure out what flairs are the best ones to have here. But since the info about what the script is for is not always given in the title it would be nice to know if the script is a TV-pilot, feature or short film from the flair. It's just good extra info to have.
