MoviePoet - The Best Short Scripts

You might be getting used to the in-depth film and script reviews posted on this site, but here is something different.

One of my favorite screenwriting sites, MoviePoet, is closing down tomorrow. MoviePoet was a site where amateur and professional screenwriters could submit short scripts for monthly competitions. These scripts were usually up to five pages long, but some of the competitions challenged participants to make shorts, single-page scripts and even feature-length screenplays. 

During the eight years in which the site operated, over 2400 scripts have been submitted on it. Below are five of the best. All of these won the monthly competitions with over 40% of users giving them an "Excellent" rating. Click on the script title to read them.
