Here are frequency lists comparable to the Gutenberg ones, but based on 29,213,800 words from TV and movie scripts and transcripts.
Here's a fuller explanation of how the list was generated and its limitations: Wiktionary:Frequency lists/TV/2006/explanation.
Here are the top 100 words (from tv scripts) in alphabetical order:

These lists are the most frequent words, when performing a simple, straight (obvious) frequency count of all the books found on Project Gutenberg. The list of books was downloaded in July of 2005, and "rsync"'ed monthly thereafter. These are mostly English words, with some other languages finding representation to a lesser extent. Many Project Gutenberg books are scanned once their copyright expires, typically book editions published before 1923, so the language does not represent modern usage. For example, "hath" is listed as the 534th-most-common word. Also, with 24,000+ books, the text of the boilerplate warning for Project Gutenberg appears on each of them.

Note: these indicative lists still require some cleanup, because:
This list does not unify inflected words (with plural or feminine mark on nouns or adjectives, or conjugated verbs), and does not recognize auxiliaries of verbs at compound tenses as part of the conjugated verb, but treat auxiliaries separately for each inflected form.
