In the world of cinema today, there are a limited number of Hollywood directors that can sell a movie on their name alone. Such a name would require a legacy of classics behind it, each demonstrating technical brilliance, timeless originality, and a signature style. They would also require a proven track record of critical praise along with consistent box office success. Names that often come to mind would include the likes of Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and Martin Scorsese but over time, that list continues to shrink. However, the one name that seems to fall on and off of that list depending on who you ask, is Ridley Scott.
While Scott may not be the most consistent when compared with his legendary peers, one thing everyone can agree on is that Scott has given audiences breathtaking pieces of cinema over his near-60-year career. Working within such a wide variety of genres and subject matter, his projects have something to offer for anyone across his robust filmography, including a few timeless classics.
Watch my video below highlighting four films in Ridley Scott’s filmography that are must-sees for every film fan. They are the classics that even his toughest critics can’t challenge. Whether they are science-fiction, survival, or historical epics, the best of Ridley Scott has us covered.
