4. True Grit
5. Skyfall
6. Fargo

8. Kundun
9. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
10. Sicario

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

Just ahead of Blade Runner 2049. Those two are just amazing.

I give the edge to Jesse James, but I'm a big fan of The Secret Garden as well. Lots to choose from.

I had no idea where else to post this so I guess this thread will do - this interview is a must for every Deakins fan! Him talking about some of his shooting experiences in detail, his wife talking about her invaluable role in the process and just overall it's 80 minutes of The Deak talking without interruptions! Great stuff.
