Strongly recommended readings:
The Poetics by Aristotle - Analysis and definition of the dramatic form, as well as proscriptive, practical advice for the dramatic writer. The eternal discussion between scriptwriters and the critics who strive to help them all starts here.
The Tools of Screenwriting by David Howard and Edward Mabley. Short and simple. Deceptively easy to read yet loaded with practical advice derived from the Frank Daniel method.
Recommended readings:
Adventures in the Screen Trade by William Goldman ? Fun to read, the ultimate insider?s look at the life of a Hollywood screenwriter.
Story by Robert McKee - An impassioned polemic for scriptwriters and filmmakers to focus on classic dramatic principles in the service of - what else - a telling a story.
The Writer?s Journey: Mythic Structure for Storytellers and Screenwriters by Chris Vogler. Before Story, The Writer?s Journey was the must-read book for writers and development people in the US film industry. Inspired by the influential ideas of Joseph Campbell.
Making a Good Script Great by Linda Seeger, PhD. Another articulate and illuminating perspective on screenwriting from a highly regarded Hollywood script consultant.
