Vertigo

Vertigo is about a retired police officer who has an extreme fear of heights. There is a mysterious vibe to the plot of the movie, and it unfolds seamlessly during the film’s length. Thanks to something called a dolly zoom, which shifts perspective from the camera’s view, the camerawork makes you feel like you have vertigo when watching it.

The Shawshank Redemption

Film critic Roger Ebert said it is darker than most movies; it’s about continuity in a lifetime, focused on friendship and hope.” Surprisingly, even though it earned loads of award nominations, this movie was not a success in theaters. Cinematographer Roger Deakins ended up winning the American Society of Cinematographers award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography, despite the long, uphill struggle to make viewers love the movie. It was accepted for preservation by the National Film Registry 21 years after the film came out.
