Looking at some of his less famous efforts. Bad Company (1972) in the header is one of my favorite movies. He also did all The Godfathers and a bunch of Woody Allen.

Little Murders (1971).
The Landlord (1970).
Klute (1971).
The Parallax View (1974).
The Drowning Pool (1975).
Pennies from Heaven (1981).
The Money Pit (1986).
It's difficult to detest "Pit" though, because it's such a harmless film and it's the most strangely lit comedy of the 1980s. Cinematographer Gordon Willis ("The Godfather" films, "Manhattan") bathes the film in both shadows and harsh source lighting, leaving this circus looking close to F.W. Murnau outtakes at certain times. It's an interesting choice for a lighting palette, and when the film eventually runs out of ideas there's always Willis's photography to take pleasure in.
Bright Lights, Big City (1988).
