Over at the 5AM StoryTalk Newsletter, I've curated an epic tour through 75 years of screenplays - across a range of genres - that helped me become a well-rounded professional screenwriter (and could help you do the same). It’s the only script list that will include both CITIZEN KANE and THE ROCKETEER, I think.
