Tony Scott is widely regarded as one of the greatest action directors in the industry today. He possesses a distinct style that makes it easy to recognize a Tony Scott movie. Additionally, he seems to have a preference for certain actors, with Denzel Washington being his favorite, while also enjoying collaborating with Gene Hackman.
In this post, I will discuss what I consider to be the most significant Tony Scott movies of his career.
One movie that undoubtedly deserves mention is “True Romance.” It is an underrated gem from the early nineties and, in my opinion, the best Christian Slater film of his career.
Another exceptional film directed by Tony Scott is “Man On Fire.” This movie happens to be one of my personal favorite Denzel Washington films and stands as one of the finest action films of recent years. Its basis on a true story adds to its appeal.
“Crimson Tide” is another remarkable Tony Scott movie. Like “Man On Fire,” this film also features Denzel Washington. Gene Hackman portrays a controversial character in this movie, and it ranks among the most suspenseful films I have seen in recent memory.
“The Last Boy Scout” is another intriguing film directed by Tony Scott. I was a bit young to fully appreciate it when I first saw it, but upon revisiting it recently, I realized it is an excellent film.
The final film on this list is “Top Gun.” It truly defined the action films of the late 80s. Starring Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and the memorable Goose, this movie became an iconic part of the era.
Upon examining his filmography, it becomes evident that Tony Scott is a skilled director who has delivered his fair share of remarkable films.
