Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good thriller scripts to read.
Greatly appreciate it. Thanks! :)

IMSDb.com kindly categorizes its scripts, although there's lots of genre crossover (action-thriller, horror-thriller, etc.) but taking a peek at the list might switch on a light bulb, http://www.imsdb.com/genre/Thriller/

Mamet's "Heist" is there, good script so-so film, and depending on your tastes and definition of thriller there's Blue Velvet, Body Heat, Fargo, The Getaway, L.A. Confidential, Spartan, Traffic, loads of others.

Thanks Dp. Will do. A lot of the sites don't categorize. Haven't been to that one yet. Moving there now. :)

The Fugitive - technically perfect and still entertaining.
Spartan was a cool flick...lots of surprises throughout.

I would have to say "Silence of the lambs" or "The Fugitive"

Thanks! I was looking for "Cape Fear" and can't find it anywhere. Anyone read it or have any ideas of where I can find it?

You can't get Cape Fear online, but if you want to buy a hard copy go to http://www.scriptshack.com. I think it's $15.

Script Shack is great for finding those too new or just impossible to find online for free.

I use them a lot.
