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.
The first movie I will mention on this list is definitely one of my favorites, and it is none other than True Romance. This cult classic was written by none other than Quentin Tarantino and features an all star cast including Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Christian Slater and Brad Pitt, to name a few.
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.
Another fantastic film of Tony Scott's is Days Of Thunder. This movie was released in 1990, but in my opinion has the 1980s written all over it. Regardless, this is a great racing movie starring Tom Cruise.
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.
