Thanks for these Stephen, the Biddle and Cronenweth ones in particular will be helping with a project I'm on at the moment. Given your style choices...How about John Schwartzman or the other Darius..... Khondji? Also, as untimely as it is, what about a look back at Harris Savides? Although no doubt AC will cover him soon anyway. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John I might get to them at some point but I have an idea in mind of the next few guys i might do its just a question of time and managing to squeeze it in - i doubt there'll be another one until the new year.

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted October 28, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted October 28, 2012 If you are centering on cinematographers of the 1980's (obviously an influential decade for you as it was for me, as was the 1970's), probably Robert Richardson was one of the most important cinematographers to emerge near the end of that decade. Also Allen Daviau, Caleb Deschanel, and of course, Storaro continued his great work from the 1970's. I got my BA at UCLA in 1984 and spent the decade making my own short films in Super-8, dreaming of being a professional filmmaker. I went to film school in 1988-91. So the 1980's was a peak time for studying movies, new and old. Years ago I posted my favorite movies for cinematography, decade by decade, and this was my list from the 1980's. Storaro's name probably appears the most. A sign at how influential these movies were for me was that I just filled in the names of the cinematographers for each title right now from memory... and only had to look up three of the titles on IMDB. 1980’s: The Elephant Man (1980) -- F. Francis The Empire Strikes Back (1980) -- P. Suschitsky Heaven’s Gate (1980) -- V. Zsigmond Raging Bull (1980) -- M. Chapman The Shining (1980) -- J. Alcott Stardust Memories (1980) -- G. Willis Chariots of Fire (1981) -- D. Watkin Excalibur (1981) -- A. Thompson Pennies From Heaven (1981) -- G. Willis Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) -- D. Slocombe Reds (1981) -- V. Storaro True Confessions (1981) -- O. Roizman Blade Runner (1982) -- J. Cronenweth Das Boot (1982) -- J. Vocano E.T. (1982) -- A. Daviau One From the Heart (1982) -- V. Storaro Sophie’s Choice (1982) -- N. Almendros Fanny & Alexander (1983) - S. Nykvist The Right Stuff (1983) -- C. Deschanel Rumblefish (1983) -- S. Burum Wagner (1983) -- V. Storaro Yentl (1983) -- D. Watkin Amadeus (1984) -- M. Ondricek Dune (1984) -- F. Francis Greystoke (1984) -- J. Alcott The Natural (1984) -- C. Deschanel 1984 (1984) -- R. Deakins Brazil (1985) -- R. Pratt The Color Purple (1985) -- A. Daviau Ladyhawke (1985) -- V. Storaro Legend (1985) -- A. Thompson Mishima (1985) -- J. Bailey Out of Africa (1985) -- D. Watkin Ran (1985) -- Nakai/Saito/Ueda Blue Velvet (1986) -- F. Elmes The Mission (1986) -- C. Menges A Room With A View (1986) -- T. Pierce-Roberts Angel Heart (1987) -- M. Seresin Empire of the Sun (1987) -- A. Daviau The Last Emperor (1987) -- V. Storaro Red Sorghum (1987) -- Changwei Gu Someone to Watch Over Me (1987) -- S. Poster Baron Munchausen (1988) -- G. Rotuno Tequila Sunrise (1988) -- C. Hall Tucker (1988) -- V. Storaro Born On the Fourth of July (1989) -- R. Richardson Fat Man & Little Boy (1989) -- V. Zsigmond Mountains of the Moon (1989) -- R. Deakins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you've pretty much nailed it - and that's a fantastic list David - that's basically the same as my own (although I still have yet to see pennies from heaven - no uk DVD unfortunately). It's interesting trying to examine ones influences in a conscious fashion - it does force you to examine why you do things in a certain way and so far it's been a really useful exercise for me.
