The Underrated Films Of Ridley Scott





My favorite film director is Ridley Scott. He directed my favorite film, Blade Runner, as well as popular films such as Alien, Gladiator, and Black Hawk Down. Here are three of his films that were either negatively received critically, or have been forgotten about as of late.

Thelma & Louise
The most popular of the three films on this list, Thelma & Louise is often written off for its stars, and isn't always remembered as a Ridley Scott film, which is a shame.

White Squall
Probably the most underrated of these three, White Squall is a drama/adventure film about a group of guys on a school sailing trip.
Oh yeah, it stars Jeff Bridges.

A Good Year
This is Ridley Scott's most poorly received film, at 25% on rotten tomatoes. I believe that the critical reviews for this film were low due to people's expectations, and how different this film is from R. Scott's others. I like this film, but I acknowledge that it may not fit with everyone's taste.
