Just sticking my head up to tell you about Script Collector.

Every day new scripts are posted online, free for you to read and learn from. 

Most of the ones I’ve looked at so far do seem to be the genuine scripts, not transcripts, because they have various draft dates on the covers or they say they’re being provided ”for educational purposes”. 

However do please, as always, treat any without such clues to their authenticity with caution, if affected do not operate Final Draft, only to be used as part of a calorie controlled diet, terms and conditions apply.

Random examples recently posted include:

The Hangover

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Twilight

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

K-Pax

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkban

Flightplan

The list goes on and on and on. 

You can, if you’re that way inclined, also follow Script Collector on Twitter.

Reading scripts is, as you know, one of the guaranteed best ways to improve your writing and develop your skills. Reading scripts for films you haven’t seen is especially useful because you concentrate on what’s on the page rather than what ended up on screen.

So go. Read. Learn. Enjoy.

And when you’ve finished with the ones above, there are plenty more here.
