People Say:

"Making Movies" by Sidney Lumet. I really enjoyed this, Lumet has lots of interesting anecdotes and lessons he learned during his career.
The lesson of every Sidney Lumet film is that if a cop takes even the tiniest bribe, they'll end murdering rats to cover up their corruption
A Most Violent Year is Scarface + The Godfather + Every Sidney Lumet movie with a touch of The Yards. It's good, in other words.
What Martin Scorsese is to gangster films he is to cop films
Pro tip: Billy Wilder isn't William Wyler, and Sidney Lumet and David Mamet are not the same person.
