You should do Sven Nykvist next!

Would also love to see:
Anthony Dod Mantle (Slumdog Millionaire, Antichrist)
Matthew Libatique (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan)
Barry Sonnenfeld (Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing)
Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters, Deliverance, The Deer Hunter)
Robert Surtees (The Graduate, Last Picture Show)
