Whatre your interests? I can find a movie script pretty quick.

But if you wanna analyze one thing, I HIGHLY recommend Hercules, because it is so clearly made with the basic tenants of screenwriting in mind.

If you want something not super complex, I could get Fullmetal Jacket. Good middle of the road script.

If you want something that, like, really messes around with stuff, maybe a Coen Bros movie script. Or, like, Inception, but I never read the script for that.

If you want some I reached potential, try the original World War Z script. And compare it to the movie. The differences are staggering.

Or even something like Bright. Compare the original draft to the final copy that was rewritten by David Ayer. Bright got FUCKED over in the rewrite, but thats because there wasnt an actual screenwriter looking over the changes.

Maybe throw in a Game of Thrones script in there. But thats much less interesting on a technical level. Still, seeing a TV screenplay when everyone else is probably gonna bring movie screenplays will show you the differences in crafting either one, and maybe you can argue into why a lot of television writers kinda suck at writing features, and vice versa.

you should watch starship troopers. it has a lot of action

Kill Bill 1s screenplay has a very detailed action scene in it. This is important because most screenwriters write out the very bare minimum of their fights. Compare that to any of the Star Wars prequel screenplays where its super simple.

Theres a lot of interesting stuff you can talk about tbh. Id love to help after Im done with work tonight

Oh! Deadpool is a great one because a lot of the jokes in the screenplay fall flat, but the performance absolutely makes each joke land spectacularly.
---

And any of Dan Harmons scripts are gold because he has mastered the art of storytelling.

I wish I could recommend more, but I dont read anywhere near as much as I should.

the original Transformers cartoon movie, or the G.I. Joe cartoon movie

Her opinions on Hercules are all-around terrible (based on her NC review of the film -- not wasting any more time on her at all after that) and even more glaring considering that, iirc, she gave a free pass to Princess & the Frog around the same time.
---

In fairness, she regrets every single thing she released as NC except for the Freddie Got Fingered video.

Nevertheless, this Hercules video is excellent. Shes at her best when she takes an academic stance on film.

You know, it would have been easier for all of us if you had provided a list of movies that you have seen, then asking which script for the given movies you should analyze.

Underage hentai scripts probably aren't school appropriate.

Why wouldn't you choose the first movie in mind?

I recommend The Ruling Class.

Fee? Isnt this for a class?

And whats so hard about analyzing a screenplay? Reading a screenplay isnt even particularly hard, and theres not a ton of stuff in a majority of scripts that needs to be sorted through with a fine toothed comb.

How about a film about "a killer robot driving instructor who travels back in time for some reason. This robot, he's got a heartbreaking decision to make about whether his best friend lives ... or dies. His best friend's a talking pie!"
