“Battleship Potemkin” (Eduard Tisse, 1926)ĩ. “The Magnificent Ambersons” (Stanley Cortez, 1942)Ĩ. “The Wizard of Oz” (Harold Rosson, 1939)Ħ. “Metropolis” (Karl Freund, Günther Rittau, 1927)ĥ. “Sunrise” (Charles Rosher, Karl Struss, 1927)Ĥ. “Gone with the Wind” (Ernest Haller, Ray Rennahan, 1939)ģ. I loved seeing “Metropolis” on there, and just on the outside, “Napoléon,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “The Adventures of Robin Hood” and “L'Atalante” were deservedly in the mix.Ģ. Gregg Toland's innovations on that film are part of the very fabric of modern filmmaking. I imagine “Citizen Kane,” which was on top of the 1894-1949 list, would handily take the cake. I'd love to see what these lists would look like combined, however. Unlike the editors' list, though, ties run absolutely rampant here and allow for way more than 50 films in each era to be cited. Then they followed up 10 years later with another poll focused on the films between 19. But they did things a little differently.īasically, in 1998, cinematographers were asked for their top picks in two eras: films from 1894-1949 (or the dawn of cinema through the classic era), and then 1950-1997, for a top 50 in each case. Stumbling across that list of best-edited films yesterday had me assuming that there might be other nuggets like that out there, and sure enough, there is American Cinematographer's poll of the American Society of Cinematographers membership for the best-shot films ever, which I do recall hearing about at the time.
