The Best Tony Scott Movies Of All Time

By Josh Stanton

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.

This article will discuss what I consider to be the greatest Tony Scott films of his career.

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 great film directed by Tony Scott is Man On Fire. This movie is easily one of my favorite Denzel Washington films and one of the better action movies of the past few years. It is based on a true story, which never hurts either.

Dj Vu is another great Tony Scott directed movie. This film stars Denzel Washington (surprise, surprise) and takes place in one of the greatest American cities there is, New Orleans. If you like films involving time travel, this one is worth seeing.

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.

The final movie on this list is Top Gun. Top Gun truly defined the late 80s action movie. This film stars Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and whoever that guy is who played Goose.

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. - 40729
