Ever need to check the exact wording of a film quote? Take a look at Scripts.com which is a large database of film and television scripts. There are hundreds available, and they include the traditional classics such as Casablanca and Gone with the wind, but also new material, such as the Game of Thrones tv series. I didn't care too much for the font used in the actual scripts themselves, and I think that the format could be improved to make them easier to read. I'd also like to be able to search through the scripts for a particular phrase as well
However, that aside, this is a super collection of scripts, and I am not aware of anything else on the web that's quite like this. It's also part of the Stands4 network of resources which is an instant indication of good quality. This is going to be a good tool for quick reference queries, media studies and so on.
I did a good Screenwriting MOOC recently and they recommended http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/free-script-downloads/ The format you see is the professional standard and it seemed to be quite prescriptive.

There are not enough scripts, but the most popular or well-critiqued films are included. No Princess Bride, inconceivable!
As for the font used, this is the standard font for film scripts. They are all written in that font, as a rule.
