When I was a kid
I woke up in the middle of the night
and Emotional Rescue was playing
on my bedside radio
It was the part where Mick
was saying "I will be your knight in shiiiining armor"
That voice in the dark totally freaked me out
and to this day
the song is basically
my Goodbye Horses

Screenplays with a great Page One
ALIENS (1985 draft) by James Cameron
The visuals and atmosphere are all here.
You KNOW this is a movie.
But it was the opening line
with a touch of poetry
that taught me a screenplay
can go deeper.
"The stars shine like the love of God...
cold and remote."

Back in my "aspiring screenwriter" days we had to scrounge, trade, steal - do anything to get our hands on an actual draft. There was that one script for you personally where it just clicked. The pages actually taught you what it's supposed to look like.
For me, that script was THE TERMINATOR.

"It was nearly eleven hundred,

where Winston worked,
they were dragging the chairs
out of the cubicles
and grouping them in the center of the hall
opposite the big telescreen,
in preparation for
the Two Minutes Hate."
