How about The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler which applies Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey to film stories in order to emphasise the mythic structure that underpins successful scripts..... I've just come across the follow-up by another writer that takes the idea further by applying it concretely to 50 top films, the aim being to set an example of scriptwriters. I haven't got the book here unfortunately but perhaps another poster knows the title and author - it was published this year. To my mind the books are more valuable in terms of analysis than as models for scriptwriting, but they advertise themselves as aimed at scriptwriters and Christopher Vogler claims to have trained lots of Hollywood people in his techniques.
