Rented this recently and enjoyed it a lot.
I't a doc on the history of cinematography. It includes many interviews with artists like Kovacs, Nykvist, Hall and many others. Almost all the films (and many more) mentioned in this thread are discussed on one level or another. It's a must for any fan of the art.
Gregg Toland. Let me just say that again. Gregg Toland.
I really like Sonnenfeld's work with the Coen Brothers too. Colorful, stylish and just fun.

I have this on laserdisc and have watched it numerous times and have made tapes of it for friends. It is enormously enjoyable and eductaional as well. I love the opening theme from Saint Saens "Carnival of the Animals" (it was also used in "Days of Heaven").
