One director who quietly flies under the radar is Tony Scott. He is quite different in his filmmaking from his better-known brother, Ridley Scott. Tony Scott is not the type of director to get nominated for Academy Award. He is the type of director who will put out awesome action movies that do well at the box office.
Let's discuss some of the better Tony Scott films from throughout the years.
One movie that I will definitely include on this list is True Romance. Supposedly, up and coming screenwriter Quentin Tarantino (this was the early 90s) sold this script to the minimum amount to a studio who put Tony Scott at the helm. Scott may have directed this movie, but its got Tarantino written all over it.
Another movie that is certainly worth mentioning in this article is Man On Fire. This movie tells the story of real life bodyguard John Creasy, who tore up Mexico City after a girl he was protecting gets kidnapped. I'm not sure how much of this film is actually true, but it is awesome nonetheless.
One movie that is certainly worthy of mentioning is Crimson Tide. This 1995 underwater suspenseful thriller stars Denzel Washington as a young officer who stages a coup against a ill intentioned general, played by Gene Hackman.
The Last Boy Scout is another interesting film that happens to be directed by Tony Scott. I was a little young to fully appreciate this film when I saw it for the first time, but upon watching it again recently, I realized that is a great movie.
Finally, one movie that cannot be left off this list is Top Gun. This 1986 cult classic stars Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer as fighter pilots and is easily one of the more quotable films of its time.
After you go through his catalog, it is clear that Tony Scott is an accomplished director and has had his fair share of great films.
