Thinking back to that time, I was wee lad. I spent every weekend at the cinema. Many great cinematographers had features on the big screen that year. It was also a decent year for VFX cinematography.

THE GOLDEN CHILD - Donald Thorn

TOP GUN - Jeffery Kimball

ALIENS - Adrian Biddle

STAND BY ME - Thomas Del - Ruth

COBRA - Ric Waite (48 HRS , RED DAWN , shot years before)

I almost forgot...

 

THE HITCHER - John Seale

 

The movie really has staying power. The tasteful use of chiarosuro in a desert environment. The anamorphic lenses worked very well, adding weight and atmosphere to an already tense situation. Watching that film at a very young age, I could feel all those elements working together to craft a special kind of terror. Classic.
