30 Screenplays for Every Screenwriter to Read (Plus 20 of Our Favourites)

Here's a list of essential screenplays for every serious screenwriter to read – screenplays, not films. If you are a budding screenwriter, you can't just watch the film and learn screenwriting from it. You must read the screenplay itself.
Watch the film, but the screenplay is the thing.
