Depending on how much time you're willing to put in, "The Story of Film: An Odyssey" [1] Is available on Netflix and fantastic. Its also 15 hours long. The narrator, Mark Cousins, who is also the author, is frankly pretty poor; but if you can get past that, the content itself is very good. It covers both American and International cinema in great depth. It is also available in print form, but I cannot personally vouch for whats in the book itself.

Can you recommend any book or instructional movie that analyzes good (or bad) storytelling in film?
