Film Courage: What is the best screenwriting book you’ve ever read?

There used to be this guy in Union Square in New York that would sell bootleg printed out copies of the screenplays and I remember buying GOODFELLAS. That was really influential on me when I was a kid and TAXI DRIVER and so I was reading all of these screenplays over time. The Coens’ BLOOD SIMPLE. The Coen Brothers’ screenplays were really influential. That’s what I learned from was reading lots of screenplays (not reading books on them) and watching a ton of movies.
