Make sure you think of each character as having their own story. Focus on characters more than setting.

Plan out each scene with a brief description of what happens in it. You can then read through them all to make sure it flows better.

Read the dialogue out loud to yourself to make sure it doesn't sound retarded or un-natural, unless of course that's what you're going for.

All of these are good tips. In my opinion you should write about something you know intimately. If you write about a plane crash and you aren't extremely familiar with aviation it just won't sound right.

The general rule is that every page is a minute. So around 90 pages.

Also, do this>>15841140.

90ish pages.

All the President's Men, Rififi (if you can find it in English). In these genres, you can't always rely on dialogues, which is good, but can also be quite difficult.

I remember something writeer once said. "For every book I write I read at least a hundred".

Also write about common things you do during the day, if you manage to make something dull like dish washing sound interesting, you're on your way.

Scripts for good movies, obviously. Pay attention to the WAY they are written. A good script is like a great book. You want to read it. Most amateurs write absolutely dreadful scripts. The ideas and dialogue might be good but the way it is written...producers don't even bother to read past the first pages.
