Compiling Script Recommendations: Style

We are compiling lists of excellent screenplays per various categories as a resource for writers to read and analyze.

Today: Scripts notable for their style. My recommendations:

(500) Days of Summer
Alien (Walter Hill & David Giler draft)
Basic Instinct
Beaver, The
Broadcast News
Crash
Get Shorty
Go
Heathers
Local Hero
Matrix, The
Pulp Fiction
Raging Bull
Repo Man
Romancing the Stone
Trainspotting
Up in the Air
Wall-E

What are your suggestions? Bear in mind, this about scripts, so whatever movie you reference, make sure that there is a script publicly available for reading.

Tomorrow: Narrative Voice.
