Cinematography Question?


In any of the following films:

Day of the Dead, 1985

Into the Night, 1985

Firestarter, 1984

Fright Night, 1985

Escape From New York, 1981

Vice Squad, 1982

Sixteen Candles, 1984

and finally

Alone in the Dark 1982


Can anyone tell me,any of the film stock used in any of these productions? And if so i would also like to know, if it is possible to make movies look like these films nowadays? How about with a digital camera? And if so which one?

If these movies were on a low buget back then, would they not be able to be made cheaper the same way today?

On top of that i would like to note that i am eceptionaly fond of the way night in the city is captured with these films, do cities still look like this today, or have the street lights changed?

Thanks in advance
