Sorry Nightflyer, but I don't know what "submission" means. My english-finnish dictionary don't know that word. Do you mean places where you can download scripts? If so, check out www.script-o-rama.com (http://www.script-o-rama.com)

I mean a production company as to where I can send my movie script. I've written two and want to send one to be considered for production.

Well, all film companies have people, whose main work is to read scripts. Screenwriters send them horseloads of scripts everyday, so they don't have time to read them all. Write a short synopsis of your storyline, before you send your script to them. That way they can read the synopsis first and then they will read the script, if the basic idea interests them. First pages of your script are also very important. If they are boring, the script reader will throw your screenplay away and starts reading another one.

If you make a call to Warner's, New Line cinema etc, they will tell you to which address you should send your script. Don't forget small independent movie companies, either. And of course you can always get youself an agent.
