I always thought of Tarantino, Scorsese or even sometimes even James Cameron as my favorite directors, as they've been responsible for several of my all time favorite films/movies. However, after reading through this Grantland.com article (
http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollyw...n-horse-career ) it dawned on me. Blade Runner, Alien, Legend, Kingdom of Heaven, Promethius... these are literally almost ALL unanimously in my all-time Top 20, some are even in my all-time top-5!! Even Hannibal and American Gangster are fantastic. All in all then, upon reflection I think I have to pass favorite director credits to Ridley.
Am I way off base here to put him above grit masters like Tarantino and Scorsese, or genre-creating folks like Cameron or Spielberg?
What do y'all think of Ridley Scott? Where would you rank his filmography?
