Yeah, not much of a fan either. Kinda surprised how good we treated the director with this feature. But I love the debate. No love for Tarantino\’s theory on \”Top Gun\” from \”Sleep With Me\”?

I\’m happy to see the praise for Spy Game.
It is under-seen for sure and deserving of at least a B. Not so sure about Deja Vu and Pelham 123.
And Beat the Devil was a sign of craziness to come.

You gotta love Tony just for his sheer audacity. Yes, sometimes it\’s totally overdone and seizure-inducing (do not sit too close to the screen in \”Domino\”) but when it\’s good, it\’s just great moviemaking that screams CINEMA!!! The balls on this guy…

For a long time, I thought your writers had nearly impeccable taste in film. The praise for so many Tony Scott movies, though, is giving me pause …

Still, keep up the good work.

Are you kidding? Domino was awesome and Keira Knightley was one of the best things about the movie. She kicked ass!

there\’s a lot of differing opinions internally on this one, but hey, that\’s healthy debate. I for one and am not much of a Scott fan.

I\’ve long been a fan of Tony\’s, but then he\’s always made films that made my eye twitch. In fact I think he\’s actually brought on small seizures but overall I loved Enemy, Tide (loved Tide), Pelham and Romance. Hey, my kid loves everything he\’s ever made, but you probably knew that already. Can\’t wait to see Unstoppable.

Top Gun is most assuredly an A-level film. On any number of levels.

I thought I was a big Tony Scott apologist — apparently not as much as you guys. Cop II the best in the series? The Hunger \”one of the best vampire films ever\”? Top Gun an A-level film?

But worst of all.. Days of Thunder is a B? Tom Cruise plays a character named Cole Trickle. COLE TRICKLE. He has a wheelchair race! And it\’s not played for laughs. That thing is a straight up D at best.
