I voted for Samuel Goldwyn and James Wong Howe. I could have voted for any of them really, but I chose Howe because 1) I trust Robert's expertise when it comes to movies, and 2) it would be great to have a HOF-er of Chinese descent in there to establish right away that movies are not just an American art form but that people from other backgrounds contributed to it as well.

Wow, hard. I changed my mind here a few times  . I ended up going for Zukor and Howe. All deserve induction. Zukor to me was just a bit more influential early on in taking the 'novelty' art form of film and successfully mass marketing it than the other moguls (& he and Goldwyn were partners/then rivals of course). It's arguable that Warner and Goldwyn-- & later Laemmle-- were better at creating the 'artistic' vision of film though true. Berkeley is great/singular really, just think his stuff more significant a little later-- early '30's. |

A really great choice, especially since his career lasted so long and included a lot of great movies. Oftentimes, I have wondered if cinematographers like Howe aren't the most underrated people in Hollywood, even though they have what is arguably the most essential job on any film set.
