The ICG Top 10 Most Influential Cinematographers list, which is comprised of 11 names due to a tie, features cinematographers whose work spans the history of the industry. Bitzer (BIRTH OF A NATION), Howe (THE ROSE TATTOO), Toland (WUTHERING HEIGHTS) and Young (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA) were in the first and second generation of cinematographers who were literally inventing a new visual language. Cronenweth (BLADE RUNNER), Hall (BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID), Nykvist (CRIES AND WHISPERS), Storaro (APOCALYPSE NOW), Wexler (WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?), Willis (THE GODFATHER), and Zsigmond (THE DEER HUNTER) were in the front ranks of a new wave of filmmakers who transformed the art form beginning in the 1950s. They were "outsiders" with diverse backgrounds and different ways of thinking than the Hollywood cinematographers who worked under contracts at studios.
...Из этих фамилий в живых остались только Хасскел Векслер (которому 92 года), Витторио Стораро, да Вилмош Зигмюнд.
