Tony Gilroy's MICHAEL CLAYTON.

Sneakers Silence of the Lambs The Sixth Sense Shattered (Apparently thrillers that start with S are the best.) Rear Window Strangers on a Train Fatal Attraction Alien I want to say Marathon Man but I'm not positive it's classified as a thriller.

The various Bourne scripts are a masterclass in action writing - Tony Gilroy again (among others)

The Usual Suspects and Shawshank Redemption are probably the best out there, fairly recent too.

Hard to list: "Thriller" as a category blends with so many others. Should my favorite suspenseful Noir crime dramas be on here? Also, I found it hard to distinguish between "must see" vs. "must read script." I restricted this list to movies where I actually had the script. Finally, this ended up a motley list of "really good scripts to read" but not sure they'd reach "everyone must read these scripts" level. I guess we'll let the voting take care of that. +1 for Michael Clayton, OMG is that great writing. Silence of the Lambs Source Code, HT to Scriptshadow Jagged Edge Notorious North by Northwest Eagle Eye, with climax lifted from Hitchcock

Folks, I don’t have the time at the moment to track down links to online scripts as I have for earlier installments of the genre series. (I wish I did!) These suggestions are great, but are sadly of marginal utility without the actual scripts. If anyone here can add a link for a script they’ve suggested, or if anyone is kind enough to volunteer to look up these scripts for everyone, it would be a great help to all of us. Suggestions so far: 1. Alien 2. Eagle Eye, with climax lifted from Hitchcock 3. Fatal Attraction 4. Jagged Edge 5. Michael Clayton, OMG is that great writing. 6. North by Northwest 7. Notorious 8. Rear Window 9. Shattered 10. Shawshank Redemption 11. Silence of the Lambs 12. Silence of the Lambs 13. Sneakers 14. Source Code, HT to Scriptshadow 15. Strangers on a Train 16. The Bourne Trilogy 17. The Sixth Sense 18. The Usual Suspects Any other SCRIPTS to add? Any other LINKS to backfill?
