- Gravity. Arguably one of the most impressive technical achievements in modern filmmaking, it's impossible to fully appreciate the scope of Lubezki's talent without seeing Gravity.

- Sleepy Hollow (1999) Tim Burton was impressed by Lubezki’s work in Great Expectations. Lubezki’s photography in the previous film is at times ethereal and gothic, and Sleepy Hollow is a story that can very well be categorized as such.
