No best cinematography list can be complete without some Malick:

This thread is sure to be subjective and let's hope everyone knows the role of the cinematographer/director of photography.

Some come to mind:

Moulin Rouge
Pan's Labyrinth
Seabiscuit
The Lovers On The Bridge
Dracula (Coppola)
Amadeus
The Fall

Both Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon had excellent cinematography

Malick didn't do the cinematography on those.

Emmanuel Lubezki - Tree of Life
Néstor Almendros/Haskell Wexler - Days of Heaven

Hero - Ying Xiong - Zhang Yimou - best of - YouTube

I wish Hero had gotten a decent release somewhere other than Korea. Everywhere else got an inferior transfer and lossy audio.

It's all personal taste. Take your pick.

The way it is worded in my opinion sounds like he did do the cinematography, but anyways: Schindler’s List has some damn good cinematography in it.
