Robbe-Grillet if you're into French New Wave. If you're not, then you're a pleb.

Are you looking for inspiration for film topics or books about filmmaking and / or the film industry? If you truly just mean 'great literature' then I recommend The Brothers Karamazov, Dead Souls, and Lolita.

i took all of this from the archive at some point, so search there too:

film art
how to read a film
geoff dyer - zona
tarkovsky - sculpting in time
-
for a brief intro just use braudy/cohen, rosen (narrative/apparatus/ideology), and abel's 2 volumes on french film theory.
the standard canon of benjamin/adorno/kracauer/munsterberg/foucault/althusser/barthes/freud.
-
bazin - what is cinema? (gray's translation is bad. at least get the version with dudley andrew's foreword, but better still get the recently released new translation by tim barnard. published by caboose.)
deleuze - cinema 1, cinema 2, "what is philosophy" and "what is a dispositif"
cavell - the world viewed
robert bresson - notes on the cinematographer
film as a subversive art
etc.: senses of cinema, cinemascope; cineaste, film comment, uc's film quarterly, ut's cinema journal, duke's camera obscura, adaptation, afterall, cinémas, cinema journal, critical inquiry, critical quarterly, diacritics, discourse, early popular visual culture, film history: an international journal, film-philosophy, framework: the journal of cinema and media, grey room, millennium film journal, leonardo, october, screen, velvet light trap
godard - "histoire(s) du cinema" (read with dan morgan's brilliant 2007 dissertation (or his just-released book, Late Godard and the Possibilities of Cinema))
sergei eisenstein - "film form" and "the film sense"
"the fright of real tears" (krzysztof kieslowski)
cahiers du cinema (jim hiller has a two-volume selection, translated)
metz - "psychoanalysis and cinema; the imaginary signifier" (metz needs to be read in context: Language and Cinema (the book) is necessary)

And if you ever want to make any money making films, read Bambi vs. Godzilla.

Is that Death by Hanging?
Great movie

Books that were made into movies. Not Stephen King though, the worst movies based on his books are also the truest to the source material.

Yeah

>Death by Hanging
I'd been trying to remember the title of the film for weeks.

Read Eisenstein and Hitchcock/Truffaut for starters. I personally like to read filmmakers speaking or writing about their own work.

I´m actually reading Hitchcock/Truffaut at the moment

Great recommendations.

Also Harun Farocki's texts. His correspondence with Kaja Silverman is patrician af.

it depends what you are into

some perspectives from filmmakers:
Lumet's Making Movies. directed Network
Ondaatje's The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing. edited Apocalypse Now
Tarkovsky's Sculpting in Time. created the masterful series Teletubbies

david bordwell's blog and his textbook film for the academic criticism angle. he's pretty readable
http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/

reviewers:
roger ebert. the reviews of bad movies are pretty fun to read and instructive on what to avoid
pauline kael. there's a neat collection hers on libgen
