Any time I discuss my favorite directors with friends, one person who I usually forget to mention is Tony Scott. Tony Scott is a good director, but he doesn't have a legacy attached to his name like so many other great directors. But when you take a closer look and go through all the movies he has directed, you will see that he has definitely had his share of gems.
This article will discuss what I consider to be the greatest Tony Scott films of his career.
True Romance is one film that certainly makes the cut for me. This is one of the most underrated films from the early nineties and in my opinion, the best Christian Slater film of his career.
Man On Fire with Denzel Washington is another great film. Denzel is as good as it gets as the hero who plays by his own rules in this film. Dakota Fanning also is great as the supporting actress, although I always thought that swimming was an odd sport choice for her.
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.
It is tough to make a list of Tony Scott directed movies without giving praise to Enemy Of The State. Will Smith plays a wrongfully accused lawyer who unknowingly ends up with some seriously classified government information and is being hunted down by the government.
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.
