well I'd have broke the tie for Graduate, Brook, so no worries.

Glad to show up in time to vote for one of the best examples of great cinematography ever: The Night of the Hunter!

The Night of the Hunter

While I really dig Dog Day Afternoon, I never really thought of it as an exemplary example of cinematography. Maybe I'm missing something and should look again....?

Would have been my vote too if I had been around. Interestingly, it was one of the movies that first made me notice film photography after I got into DVD. I had only ever seen it on TV or VHS and I did think it was a really good movie, but when I saw it on DVD in full scope, I was blown away by how much difference it made. It was like a whole new movie. Beautiful stuff.

Night of the Hunter sweeps 6-0, as it should for a top seeded film.

Abstain.

 

[Agee Bassett]

Cool Hand Luke

 

[Bill McA]

Red Dust

 

[Adam_S]

Cool Hand Luke and Red Dust tie at 2-2
DAMMIT, I enjoy both of these films, and would vote Red Dust over many in the tournement, but I will cast my vote for Conrad Hall's jaw dropping photography in Cool Hand Luke. So Cool Hand Luke advances.


ROUND 1, MATCH 16
Touch of Evil ----------------------------- vs ----------------------------- The Wizard of Oz
DP Russell Metty --------------------------------------------- DP Harold Rosson


I'm reasonably certain that touch of evil shot is from a gun blast flash of light.

 

[SteveGon]

Ouch.

The Wizard of Oz

Very tough.

Touch of Evil

Adam, that still is not from Touch of Evil, but rather The Killers (another fine looking film, I may add).
