julien doumenjou Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Can't make a top 5! Even a top 10 is hard! Some of my favorites: -Fritz Arno Wagner -Gregg Toland -Hal Mohr -Jack Cardiff -Stanley Cortez -Gordon Willis -Henri Alekan -Conrad Hall -Gordon Willis -Freddie Francis -Vilmos Zsigmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julien doumenjou Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Or Kazuo Miyagawa? Or Edward Tisse? Or Raoul Coutard? Subrata Mitra? Sergei Urusevsky? Aldo Graziati? Freddie Francis? I mean, where do you start or stop? So much great work done by so many... I think that's why you have to consider these lists as not inclusive, just a list of personal favorites, and what's a favorite is not always easily defendable or not everyone is going to agree with it. Not everyone shares my love for Geoffrey Unsworth's work, but I still watch his stuff over and over again. I'm always amazed that more people don't recognize the importance of Ozzie Morris, for example, in the history of cinematography. Ozzie Morris is among the greatest for sure. I never saw any color like Huston's Moulin Rouge! Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
