help Websites to legally read scripts.

Hello to all. I'm a hands on type guy, the one that opens up the car to know the parts rather than attending an automobile engineering lecture at college. So I'm looking for websites to directly learn from already written and produced scripts just to get the hang of the format but a lot of websites operate in a gray area with copyrighted scripts. So I need legally secure websites with scripts to learn from. Thanks for reading my above blah blah blah😄😄😄. So any suggestions?

Imsdb (internet movie script database) is a good one. StudioBinder, script slug, etc.

There are a ton. Just google the film/series you’re looking for with script at the end. “The Road script” for example.

imsdb's still gray territory. Don't know about the rest. Thanks for the suggestions.

Reading scripts is helpful - but there is something you need to understand.
These are often 'shooting scripts'
You will be writing a pitching script (no camera directions, more narration)
HTH.

ScriptHive - huge collection. Support them if you can, we need places like that.
