Deadline: Read The Screenplay
Discussion
The Deadline website has a series of film screenplay scripts that are readable on the site or downloadable as a PDF that can be loaded to an e-reader. I've downloaded a few and sent them to my Kindle. They're recent and current films in the first few pages.

I read lots of screenplays, mainly unproduced.
Dunno if the Black List is still a thing, but that's the first thing to check for quality stuff yet to be made.
When the chosen few do get made the final product is ALWAYS worse. Either there's a juicy subplot gone, or motivations are watered down or removed completely.
I presume it's down to pleasing someone somewhere along the line, or simply justifying that 158th rewrite for $20,000 a week.
