True Romance #1 by far. Last Boy Scout REALLY deserves to be on this list as well. Speaking of screenwriter/director pairings, Shane Black and Tony were a match made in heaven on that one.

The Last Boy Scout and Man of Fire are among my favorites from him

Absolutely adore Last Boy Scout, I think it's the ultimate Bruce Willis action pic in terms of attitude and style, even surpassing the Die Hards. The one-liners are better, too. And I enjoyed Domino a hell of a lot. Didn't think it deserved the pasting it got at the time, though, if I recall rightly, Sight and Sound carried a review that was right on the money.
Once read an interview with him talking about future projects (this was several years ago) and he talked up a film about mercenaries who go around repossessing luxury items owned by drug dealers. Wish that he'd made it, sounded great.

Hate to insult cause I really love you guys, but this list reads like it was written by a 24-year-old who's only been watching movies beyond entertainment for 5 yrs or so..
Trur Romance. Man on fire. Revenge. Beverly Hills Cop two. All flawed in some slight way, but that is just how time affects art. Each of his films is a product of the decade in which they were made, and that fucking rocks.
He enhanced the genre like very few. And he even shot a smoky room filled with tension better than his brother Ridley…

I'm so glad you included "Beat the Devil". It's always been the film I talk about when extolling the virtues of the late Mr. Scott. RIP. You will be missed.

Man on Fire was easily his best film. R.I.P. Tony.

RPI Tony Scott. The Hunger, Top Gun, and True Romance are classics.
