I have a faculty member who wants current screenplays (past 20-30 years) for a class she
teaches on screenwriting.  Does anyone have any good sources for screenplays?

Alexander Street Press publishes American Film Scripts, an online database.  It can be 
subscribed to or purchased.

Here is the ASU catalog description of the collection:

American Film Scripts Online is an ongoing full-text project. The collection of feature 
films, when completed, will hold 1,000 scripts and over 100,000 scenes. Many of the 
scripts have never been published. The database is full-text searchable and includes 
detailed indexing on scenes, characters, and people. Supplemental information includes 
short biographies on the writers and awards given to individual films have been noted.
