CK set the bar for cinematography that no one can ever reach.
It wasn't even that he did anything "new" - it was that he combined all the techniques learned to that point, and used them to great effect. He put on a clinic of lighting and camera use of techniques that had not been used liberally or to the same effect.
Toland did a great job with the lights and cameras on that film - Welles nabs the lion's share of the credit, but Toland - and their sound guys, Fesler and Stewart, deserve a lot of credit for the final package. Welles almost predicted Kubrick, in that he had studied enough of the photographic and recording techiques to make a difference as the director (as well as being the writer/producer/star - which predicted folks like Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner in the post-contract era.)

Great great thread. So many great ones mentioned, I want to go and watch them all right now. Some are obvious, others less so.
A couple that haven't been mentioned I wanted to throw out. Shawshank Redemption. Everyone loves this movie, such a great story, but I honestly think Darabont doesn't get enough credit for the dark beauty of the world he creates. Truly haunting:
The opera scene and Brooks was here are just classic.
Also, Mann gets a lot of deserved credit for Mohicans, but The Insider is one of the least appreciated masterpieces of the modern era imo. Love love this movie and it gets better with age. The score is one of my favorites of all time, and the cinematography is masterful and deserves a mention here imo:
