Without the help of big budgets, modern film stocks, digital cameras, CGI and computer assisted grading -

John Alton.

and many more I've yet to see but what a career he has had.

[Creed]

Out of my head, Drive and Only God Forgives has flawless cinematography. I watched both movies online in 720p and it looks beautiful.

[P-Rock]

Guillermo Navarro, Benoit Debie, Darius Khondji, Jeff Cronenweth, Sean Bobbitt, Dean Cundy, Lance Acord... All very good cinematographers.

Christopher Doyle

^ probably the best one in the whole world

Lü Cha (Green Tea)
Ruang rak noi nid mahasan (Last Life in the Universe)
Fallen Angels
Chungking Express
Days of Being Wild
Happy Together
In the Mood for Love
Hero
2046
Lady in the Water
Three... Extremes (Dumplings)
etc.etc

I actually choose to watch movies just because he did the cinematography. Was not disappointed once.

I'm the same, I choose films these days based on who is cinematographer rather than director/actors and Doyle is certainly one of my favourites of all time next to Deakins.

Does anyone have any good cinematography reviews / commentaries, maybe youtube based? I used to enjoy reading sight and sound however I have to admit that a lot of it went over my head somewhat, I felt it was quite "high brow" for my meagre grey matter to comprehend.

I watch Every Frame a Painting

Although the channel is not about cinematography only.

For overall movie analysis, I can recommend Rob Ager / Collative Learning as well. Some of his reviews are simply amazing. For example his Starship Troopers review. Sadly it was taken by copyright holders on youtube.

Gareth Edwards has a good eye for visuals. That shot with the troops falling out of the carrier in Godzilla was frickin' GORGEOUS.
