Favorite Ridley Scott Film?

[Warhammer]

FAVORITE, not the best. My choice has to be American Gangster. I could watch that movie from any point and keep watching until the end. It is truly a masterpiece for me with it's amazing replay value.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Best I would say Gladiator but it's not my favorite of his.
Fav are Alien and Blade Runner.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Oh sorry I thought you meant his best movie. His best movie is Alien over Blade Runner just about. But my favourite movie of his is Blade Runner.

 

[Duke]

I do like Gladiator, followed closely by The Kingdom Of Heaven, Body Of Lies, & Black Hawk Down.

Gladiator

 

[The Face]

'Legend' is one of my favourite films of all time 'The Duellists' 'Kingdom of Heaven' and 'Alien' are also pretty good, not a big fan of 'Blade Runner', haven't seen much of his other stuff.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Gladiator is my favorite. I love watching that movie. Tremendous entertainment.

 

[Gort Baringa]

I like the extended version of Kingdom of Heaven.

Scott also had his hand in producing a couple nice films: Tristan and Isolde, and 1492 (about Christopher Columbus)

 

[Decepticonus]

Best? Favorite? Argh. Leaning towards Alien but I'm a big fan of Gladiator. I may say Alien is far more impressive, given he's not a fan of horror at all but the film itself does not imply that I think. It was done on a relatively cheap budget and is still pretty terrifying to this day. I would almost argue Alien is a must-see film whereas Gladiator is recommended but you can afford to miss it.

[OutOfBoose]

I'll never understand the love for Gladiator...

Blade Runner is my favorite of him. Blade Runner is in my top of all time.

 

[Jay Beezy]

I gotta say, in spite of my love for Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, American Gangster and The Martian, I think I love Kingdom of Heaven the most, but more specifically, the director's cut of that film, which is completely different from the theatrical. I mean the amount of substance there is truly remarkable, it's such a pity they cut it because of test audiences with poor attention spans.

 

[Quasimod0]

1. Alien
2. The Martian
3. Gladiator

I confess that I haven't yet seen Blade Runner, but I plan on watching it soon.

 

[Slushy]

1.) Gladiator

2.) Blade Runner (Final Cut)

3.) American Gangster

Honorable mention: Kingdom Of Heaven (Director's Cut)


Hannibal was tremendous and it would've higher on my list if either A.) Jodie Foster returned or B.) It was more faithful to the novel.

 

[Brother Jack]

Of course it comes down to either Alien or Blade Runner. Both are masterpieces but I've always been a little bit partial to Blade Runner. It's the first one I saw and I lucked out because it happened to be the director's cut.

Scott's had a weird run. He began with two back-to-back masterworks but since then his output has varied wildly. Guy's made a lot of different kind of movies.
