A cinematographer and a DP (director of photography) are one in the same. But the cinematographer may not necessarily be the actual person shooting. A DP's duties usually include arrangement and selection of shots; angles, lighting choices, lenses, film stocks, how the film is processed, deciding which takes are processed and which takes are not. Basically they are in charge of the entire camera department which consists of its own crew, from loaders to production assistants, to grips, operators, runners,and even gaffers answer to the DP (some people even define a cinematographer as a composer of light) who in turn answers to the Director.

Here is a short list of talented cinematographers, and some of the highlights from their careers. You might notice that everyone on this list (with the exception of Robert Burks) has John Ford films to their credit. That's because I've been thinking of John Ford a lot lately, and the list magically went in his direction. What can you do?
Gregg Toland - Citizen Kane, Wuthering Heights, The Long Voyage Home
Robert Burks - Strangers On A Train, Rear Window, To Catch A Thief, Vertigo, North By Northwest, The Birds, Marnie
Winton C. Hoch - The Searchers, The Quiet Man
Bert Glennon - Stagecoach, Rio Grande
Arthur C. Miller - How Green Was My Valley, The Gunfighter
Joe MacDonald - My Darling Clementine, Pickup On South Street
William Clothier - The Horse Soldiers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
John Alton & James Wong Howe
Alton did stuff like T-Men and Raw Deal he pretty much defined the noir style
James Wong Howe also did some pretty good noir stuff, like The Sweet Smell of Success
Malik Hassan Sayeed-
Life and Debt (2001)
Original Kings of Comedy, The (2000)
Belly (1998)
Freak (1998/I) (TV)
He Got Game (1998)

Pass The Popcorn 
and anamorphic (2.35:1) to make things look "interesting". Coming from a production background, I'm always amazed by how well Toland framed his shots in the somewhat uninspiring 4:3 format. And as was mentioned before, his master use of lighting and depth of field is undeniable.
