imsdb.com

script-o-rama.com
This is Drew's Script-O-Rama website. Along the bottom, you'll find links to "Film Scripts", "Film Transcripts", and even "TV Scripts".
What's the different between a "script" and a "transcript"? A transcript is when someone watches a movie or TV show that's already been made and writes down all the dialogue they hear. This may or may not follow correct screenplay formatting. Scripts are the screenplays that were written by the screenwriter before the movie was made. For the most part, these will follow correct screenplay formatting.
