Compiling a list of the greatest Ridley Scott films of all time is no easy task. For decades, Sir Ridley Scott has been behind the lens of some of the greatest movies to come out of Hollywood. Mr. Scott is not bound by any genre; he tends to stray toward action and adventure, but he is willing to try anything.
This article will highlight and discuss what I consider to be the best Ridley Scott films of his illustrious career.
The first movie I will discuss is Matchstick Men. This is so not a Ridley Scott movie it is funny. In my opinion, nothing about this film represents the bulk of his other work, but it is still a great film. Nicholas Cage is great in the leading role.
One movie that definitely makes the list of the best Ridley Scott movies is Black Hawk Down. In my opinion, Black Hawk Down is right up there with Saving Private Ryan as my favorite war film of the last 15 years or so.
If you are a fan of Ridley Scott movies, then you have to be a fan of Gladiator. This very well may be his best movie ever, and it was well deserving of the Best Picture Oscar that it won. This movie spurned a revival in Roman gladiator genre films, but none of the others came close to repeating its brilliance.
Another one of the all time great Ridley Scott movies is Blade Runner. This classic film was released in 1982 and at the time of me writing this article, is ranked as the 113th best film of all time according to the Internet Movie Database.
Finally, a film that I feel the need to include in this article is Hannibal. I am a big fan of Silence Of The Lambs, and maybe the sequel wasn't as good, but it was better than most sequels in my opinion. I thought Sir Ridley Scott did the second film justice.
Hopefully there are one or more films from the great Ridley Scott in this article that you have yet to see.
