Besides your own of course!

I'm totally in the vote that reading good screenplays helps you become a better screenwriting yourself.

So...
What are some good screenplays you read recently? Who are your favorite screenplay writers?

I just read 500 Days of Summer by Scott Nuestradter and Michael H. Webber. Loved it!

Also read Michael Clayton since I love Tony Gilroy's writing. Have not seen the movie yet, but no wonder this got an oscar nom last year. Good stuff and good writing. His character descriptions are never boring.

Anyone else?

1- GALAHAD by Ryan J. Condal
If you are going to revisit a classic story... this is how you are supposed to do it...

2- SOURCE CODE by Ben Ripley
Very unique sci-fi/thriller/mystery script.

3-PRISONERS by Aaron Guzikowski
I'm not a huge horror type fan, but this script nailed it. Supposedly Marky Mark is all over this. I hope not...

4-MEDIEVAL by Mike Fitch & Alex Litvak
This script was way too cool and cocky for me, but I can definitely appreciate what they were trying to do here with this 300esque script.

The Lost Weekend by Billy Wilder which was very good.

I am currently Reading Chinatown by Robert Towne.
