I like the Hitch movie (Rear Window) with a star cast. I'm an oldie moldie! Ha!
Blow Up is on TCM. Made when I was a kid.
I've followed Annie. Went to school in S.F.
Good stuff.
Thanks for the link.

Anyone want to buy my cameras?

Dear Sara,
I've never seen any of those movies.
No wonder I feel like I'm just wasting my time when I go afield with my camera?

I can't believe they didn't list the movie The Public Eye with Joe Pesci who plays a Weegee like character.
Here is a favorite I like to watch that is on YouTube on the life of W. Eugene Smith: Photography Made Difficult...worth the watch.

Everlasting Moments is a really fine film also.
Rear Window
Blow Up
Both very good
And I just recently saw Under Fire which is also worth a watch.

Yes, excellent movies there. One not mentioned and I found enjoyable was Monk with a Camera.

I will add Spy Game with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Pitt is a CIA agent whose cover is as a photographer. He uses a Nikon that looks like an FE2; and a Leica M6 that the sound effects department made to sound like a Nikon with motor drive.

Ditto on The Public Eye. I loved the part..."Hey kid...the hat. Throw his hat in there...people like to see the dead guy's hat"

Blow Up, especially with the scene featuring the Yardbirds with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. YES!
Pecker is quite good.
Lot's more not named.

Thanks for the link, Sara. I also liked the film "American Gangster" where Russell Crowe's detective character uses his Nikon film camera (RF?) and darkroom skill to bring down the Heroin kingpin dealer character played by Denzel Washington.

Everyone should see Born Into Brothels, especially when they begin to take themselves and their gear too seriously.....

Another "must see" list which is missing many important movies related to the topic.
For instance, Puzzle of a Downfall Child (Jerry Schatzberg, 1970) The Year of Living Dangerously (Peter Weir, 1983), The Killing Fields (Roland Joffé, 1984) etc etc.

"Bill Cunningham New York" is another good one.

I agree, Peter Weir's 1982 The Year of Living Dangerously should definitely be included on such a list.
Linda Hunt (an Oscar)
Sigourney Weaver
Mel Gibson (when we still liked him)
Maurice Jarre (musical score)
