American Film Scripts Online

Connect to Resource

As perhaps the most accurate mirror of American culture, films are increasingly sought out, not only by film scholars, but also for graduate, undergraduate, and faculty work in literary, historical, and cultural studies generally. American Film Scripts is growing and contains over 1,000 film scripts, opening an exploration into American culture though the decades.

The database from Alexander Street Press is the most highly structured and best indexed electronic archive of American films available, consisting of a bibliographic and biographical database of directors, writers, and the full text of the movies themselves. Unlike existing materials available on the Web, only American Film Scripts contains authorized versions of the texts.

 Access open only to UBC students, faculty, staff and on-site Library users (other restrictions may apply)
