Looking for sample scripts

[Readingruffini]

I just purchased Final Draft 7 and a couple questions are on my find. First of all when I visit the download page to download the new update, it says my registration code is not in the database even after I just registered my copy. Maybe it takes a day or two to go through?

Secondly, I would like to look off of another screenplay, like a popular movie, so I can work on format. Does Final Draft 7 come with complete screenplays or do I have to download one from a website to look at. And if so, where can I find legit screenplays to use as a reference?

I appreciate your help, and any other suggestions are appreciated.

Another note: I notice you can select three options when you create a new screen play file:
1. "Screenplay"
2. "Screenplay (Cole and Haag)"
3. "Screenplay (Warner Bros)"
Which do you suggest?

As for what type of script to choose...
All those types are for is if you're writing to a specific format.

The Warner Bros studio has a specific format to set a script to... so if you want to write to submit to them... use that format.

The other type is for another studio that is the same way, but I'm not sure which studio prefers this format.

I would suggest just working with the standard NEW script style... because you can always re-format a script later.

Happy writing.

Here's a site that has scripts for movies, t.v, and all that... they all have roughly the same format pretty much.
