I really only go to:
www.wordplayer.com
www.simplyscripts.com - I think it's the most comprehensive list of scripts out there.

Not a website, but Script Magazine is one of the best resources out there.

MovieMaker Magazine has a list of the top 50 websites, which seems a rather large list.

Check out

http://celtx.com/

A free screenwriting software.

It's very user friendly, and it does everything Final Draft and Movie Magic do and more.

I used Final Draft first then moved onto Movie Magic, but now I've switched over to Celtx. The biggest reason is the script break downs, and Production scheduling already built into Celtx with Movie Magic I would've have had to by an expensive program to do scheduling.

Years ago, when Celtx first started, it was really buggy, and really limited. It has significantly grown, though, and I'm pretty convinced, it has a great path ahead. It is based mostly on open-source Mozilla components (Sunbird for calendaring, for example), LaTeX for script, etc. Soon after the first pre-release version of software appeared, they built the online file repository and collaboration solution. Users could register for free and have full multi-user access to all aspects of the project. About two years later, this feature became commercial and has to be paid for now. Those who registered before and used server access for free were required to pay for future service, or have accounts deleted. Apparently, many signed up, which provided healthy revenue to support further development.

The package is now quite well developed, stable, with plenty of great features. It can still be downloaded for free, and will likely remain free, due to the licensing terms on components used. While it is still not quite the Final Draft, for many independent and amateur filmmakers, it is more than close enough, especially considering the break-down and scheduling functionality.
