Hi Shrink...
So far, nothing yet. It depends on the professor. This particular professor is posting specific screenplay fragments to help us with the many facets of screenwriting. The Gran Torino opener was posted to show a very immediate and clear picture of the lead character.
In previous course iterations, some professors listed: Casablanca, Sunset Blvd. - if anything from this era is posted, I'll let you know.
I am a devotee of classic films...especially the films of the 30's and 40's. I feel that the early films established the language of film (not only the written language, but the cinema language in general...for example "Citizen Kane" with it's incredibly creative, original, and ground breaking cinema techniques.) Since you are taking a screenwriting class, I'm very curious if your prof has you watching some of the classic films, as well as more current stuff.
