Lead Me to Beat Sheets!
March 11, 2011 8:51 AM

I'm looking for movies that have been beat-sheeted and I'm coming up (mostly) empty-handed.

I want to read lots of examples of beat sheets a la Blake Snyder. There are a few on his website, and lots of others around that call themselves beat sheets but are really scene outlines. Google is not my friend on this. Can anyone point me to a hefty supply of beat sheets for existing movies?

Thank you!

I don't know what's on Blake Snyder's site, but his book "Save the Cat Goes to the Movies" has 50 movies broken down in his beat sheet format.

Thank you for that reference; I looked through the TOC on Amazon and it looks helpful. I'll definitely get my hands on it. I would still be interested in more places to look, especially sites where regular old writers like me beat out movies and post for discussion.
