I am currently on a tear through Hitchcock (50's primarily) screenplays. Enjoying immensely, especially when a (free) YouTube video of a key scene OR the whole movie helps me "read along"!
Also last year, enjoyed a great Agnes Varda retrospective at the beautiful old 30's Art Deco theater in Silver Spring, Maryland that houses the American Film Institute.
Cheers!
P.S. There is a hilarious UK Twitter site called @TheMoveCrowd that features a variety of offbeat, mostly British stuff from a ways back, and a great cast of Twitterati to comment!
Ever see that famous Burgess Meredith episode of Twilight Zone, where the world ended, and and all he wanted to do was read? That’s me with this list. 🙏🏽 thank you! Now, if only the world would end, so I could just get get to these
It's a hell of a read. If you've seen the film, I'd recommend listening to the SCRIPTNOTES episode with Nolan that recently was shared. It provides a fantastic lens through which to read the incredibly unique point of view he used for much of it.
I wish I'd had bookshelves filled with scripts like these when I started writing. I just want to make it a bit easier for the next generations of screenwriters.
Once again, Cole H., your amazing generosity is such a boon to anyone in love with wonderfully-structured dramatic fiction of all sorts. THANK YOU!
You're welcome, Moe!
Thanks for pulling this list together!
Hope it helps in some small way. I wish I'd read more of them to tell you which to begin with, but I'm still working through the films themselves.

Correction: " @TheMovieCrowd "
So awesome
I hope they help in some way!
This is great, thanks. I needed some kind soul doing this 20 years ago when I was scouring the internet for scripts to learn from.
You're welcome. You'll find links to a few hundred more scripts inside this article. I curated all the other lists. Hope they inspire!
Even better! Thanks again, bravo.

Ha! I saw that episode many years ago, but do recall it. Enjoy all the new reading material!
Thank you Cole! Will dig into Oppenheimer over the weekend.

I will 100% be on that, thanks again for your generosity
You're welcome!
Thank you very much, Cole, for making this.
