- Blade Runner 2049 (2017) Blade Runner 2049 - Official Trailer. Blade Runner 2049 is an awesome display of creativity and experimentation. This is the first Roger Deakins movie to win the Oscar for best cinematography despite it being his fourteenth nomination.
- 1917 (2019) 1917 • The First 9 Minutes. Deciding to shoot 1917 to look like one long take is pure ambition. But if it weren't for the fact that 1917 is actually a good movie, this would've become just another gimmick.
- Skyfall (2012) Skyfall - Official Trailer. The visual in Skyfall is what happens when you “give” Roger Deakins and Sam Mendes $200 million to make a film.
- Blade Runner 2049. It's no wonder this film tops lists and finally won Deakins his first Oscar. It has a rich backstory and interesting setting, which were established by the original Blade Runner, but Blade Runner 2049 continues to add to the franchise with new characters, new challenges and new places.

- A Serious Man (2009) Fair warning: You’re going to see a lot of Coen Brothers movies on this list. As the go-to cinematographer for Joel and Ethan Coen, Deakins has lent his talents to a wide range of classics, but as the Coens vacillate between comedy and drama, so does Deakins.
- The Shawshank Redemption (1994) One of the most beloved movies of all time, The Shawshank Redemption was far from a box office hit when it was released, but numerous Oscar nominations—including Best Picture and Cinematography—and countless TV airings later, it’s one of America’s favorite movies of all time.
- Fargo (1996) When you think of Roger Deakins you often think “gorgeous images”, but the guy is also incredibly versatile. Fargo, for example, is at times downright plain, but there’s a methodical quality to the cinematography that’s all in service of the outlandish story the Coen Brothers are telling—a story of a “nice” man in a nice town doing a very, very bad thing.
- The Village (2004) Two things: Bad movies can have great cinematography, and The Village is not a bad movie. While M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller suffered from sky-high expectations, subsequent watches having already made the twist go down far smoother.
