    • Enemy of the State (1998) In an homage to the great 70s political thrillers Francis Ford Coppola’s THE CONVERSATION (1974) and Sydney Pollack’s THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (1975), Scott’s pre-9/11 cautionary tale of the threat of Big Brother violating our privacy is years before the Patriot Act and Edward Snowden and it warns us of the dangers of ignoring checks and balances in our government.
    • The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) In this remake of the 1974 Joseph Sargent-directed movie, Denzel Washington steps into the Walter Matthau role and John Travolta takes on the Robert Shaw role.
    • The Last Boy Scout (1991) At the time, Shane Black’s screenplay for this movie was the highest spec script ever sold. Producer Joel Silver of Lethal Weapon fame hired Scott to tell the tale of a weathered ex-Secret Service agent turned private detective, Joe Hallenbeck, (Bruce Willis) who teams up with washed-up quarterback, Jimmy Dix, (Damon Wayans) to solve a murder that ultimately uncovers an assassination plot against a U.S. Congressman.
    • Days of Thunder (1990) Producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer hired Scott again, this time to tackle NASCAR racing in a movie that was nicknamed “TOP GUN with cars.”

    • 'True Romance' (1993) Starring: Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper. As a fast-paced, clever, and action-packed crime movie, True Romance really feels like it has it all, and is perhaps the greatest thing Tony Scott ever directed.
    • 'Crimson Tide' (1995) Starring: Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Viggo Mortensen. A genuinely gripping and extremely well-made war movie, Crimson Tide is all about being as intense as possible for most of its runtime.
    • 'Man on Fire' (2004) Starring: Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Christopher Walken. Though Man on Fire does deliver when it comes to action and thrills, it might be the more grounded elements that work the best here, making this arguably one of the more moving and dramatic films Tony Scott ever directed.
    • 'The Hunger' (1983) Starring: Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, David Bowie. The Hunger is a cult classic vampire/horror movie, and one that pushes things pretty far overall.

    Apr 21, 2021 · UNSTOPPABLE, released in 2010, was Tony Scott’s last feature film before he took his life in August of 2012. By turning in one of his finer directorial efforts, Scott goes out on a high note, with a genuinely solid capstone to an incredibly scattershot body of work. Most directors never have the luxury of knowing what their final film will be.
