Formatting - where can I see or buy a script?

Does anyone know where, if possible online, I can look at a script to see how it's formatted, how stage directions appear, etc. Or is it easier to buy a script to look at it? And re: timing in a script, I once heard somewhere that one page of a script is equal to one minute of time for the movie. Is that accurate? Thanks!

Nikolas, with Highland, have you gotten good support with it? I've emailed Highland twice over the past 2-3 days with some questions about their software and they haven't gotten back to me yet. Thanks.
