Greatest Cinematographers

My favourite of all time is Conrad L. Hall (RIP - 2002)
He won three Oscars (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, American Beauty and the haunting Road to Perdition).
We will all miss him and find it hard to move on without him.
After Conrad I can't think of anyone else.

Adrian Biddle
Freddie Francis

I like early john mctiernan, his action movies are so vivid in the 80's and early 90's.
