Screenwriters are filmmakers. So, in the same way that aspiring architects study buildings, aspiring screenwriters should study, first and foremost, the films themselves. A book like Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach, by Paul Gulino, has beat by beat analysis of well known movies that illustrate story structure, sequencing, plant and payoff and other techniques. That said, there are a number of scripts that beautifully illustrate how screenwriters use the written word to indicate visuals, tone, style, pacing, structure, character, tension and action: words that define the finished movie like the lines of an architect's blueprint. It is also very instructive to look at early drafts of screenplays to discover how the film was changed and revised during production. Sometimes brilliant scripts were made into mediocre movies. Sometimes problematic scripts were solved in the process of shooting and editing. Here is a list of feature scripts that agents, executives, film school professors, and screenwriters themselves often cite as influential and instructive to aspiring screenwriters. Five mainstream Hollywood scripts often cited as perfect in style, structure, content, and execution are: Chinatown Die Hard Unforgiven Groundhog Day American Beauty Since so many movies are adaptations, it is instructive for screenwriters to read the underlying material (usually a novel and then read the screenplay adaptation. Five scripts often recommended are: Adaptation Cider House Rules Silence of The Lambs The Shawshank Redemption The English Patient Classic Scripts most often recommended: Treasure of The Sierra Madre The Sweet Smell of Success Some Like It Hot Casablanca His Girl Friday Taste in indie film is more eccentric and subjective. But I would list these independent voices as instructive to ALL screenwriters: Ronnie Rocket (unproduced script by David Lynch.

Morgan Freeman pitched that baseball for the entire 9 hours without a single word of complaint. He showed up for work the next day with his arm in a sling. Stephen King sold the film rights for his novella for a dollar. The role of Andy Dufresne was intended for Tom Hanks. Tom passed on the project because he was filming Forrest Gump. Despite its box office failure, Warner Brothers shipped 320,000 rental copies to US video stores, a figure a spokesman freely admitted was “out of whack” with the film’s performance in the theaters. A Warner Exec who loved the film ignored the math and gave the order. His gamble paid off, Shawshank would prove to be the most rented film of 1995. In the original novella, Red is “a middle-aged Irishman with graying red hair”. Red actually uses the line “ Maybe it’s ’cause I’m Irish” as a joke in the film. The famous scene where Andy turns up the music of “ The Marriage of Figaro” in the prison yard was completely improved by Tim Robbins. He thought it was make for a great moment in the film. Why you’ve seen Shawshank 100 times: After the film gained popularity, Ted Turner sold the television rights to TNT, his own network, for much lower than normal for such a big film. Because it is so inexpensive to show, the film is broadcast on TNT all the time. Director Frank Darabont decided not to have the deleted scenes on the DVD release of the film because he’s embarrassed by them and doesn’t want them to.
