The Greatest Movies of Ridley Scott
By an Amazon.com customer

	The Duellists Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.12 Ridley's First movie after a great career as a director of commercials. Not his greatest movie, but it is visually stunning, and a lost gem that should be enjoyed
	Alien: 20th Anniversary Edition [Award Series] Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.58 Funny that this 20th anniversary edition is now 10 yrs old, but worth getting because it's cheap and it has Ridley's origional commentary track that is not available in the quadrilogy set
	Alien Quadrilogy (Alien/ Aliens /Alien 3 /Alien Resurrection) Buy new: $42.99 / Used from: $27.90 Ridley explains that the "directors cut" is not really the directors cut but just a different cut with new scenes. Even though only the first movie is Ridley's this is a great set, and has a new Ridley commentary w/guest Sigourney Weaver
	Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $15.93 Finally! Ahead of it's time Blade Runner in all its glory. This five disk set is a bargain, and if you own a Blu Ray player it is a MUST own for your collection...you get 5 versions of this ahead of its time gem...The only complaint is that the 2 special features disks are std def DVD. This is still my favorite Ridley Scott film!
	Legend (Ultimate Edition) Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.15 Both the domestic and international version of another Ridley masterpiece that was ahead of its time...I prefer the international version, what do you think?
	Someone to Watch Over Me Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.47 This is the begining of Ridley's new path away from sci-fi, fantasy, and more of a drama career...sorry, not one of my favorites
	Black Rain (Special Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $10.30 Beautifully shot movie w/ the star power of Michael Douglas, about Japan when we all thought the Japanese were going to take over the world. The Japanese economy would implode soon after, and has still not recovered. That makes the movie seem quite dated now
	Thelma & Louise Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $2.66 The first of Ridley's "Chick Flicks", but Ridley does it better than most, and this special edition DVD is packed with great extras
	1492: Conquest of Paradise [Widescreen Definitive Edition] sloooow movie especially for a Ridley Scott film...I would like to see a new version available on DVD
	White Squall Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.99 Would look fantastic in Blu Ray, but unfortunately this is the only version available as of now
	G.I. Jane [Blu-ray] Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $8.99 Demi Moore looks great, and went awol for period after this movie. The Blu Ray is the best version available, but I'm still not happy as there is no Commentary track...I still consider this a "chick flick"
	Gladiator (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) Buy used from: $2.83 Ridley comes back to doing what he does best! Great DVD, and the 6.1 Sound is fantatic. One of my favorite DVD'S to watch on my Home Theatre system
	Gladiator - Extended Edition (Three-Disc Extended Edition) Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $7.94 Ridley's Masterpiece where he finally gets his due, as an academy award winning epic of a Roman gladiator winning death matches in ancient rome. This 3 disk set is a must own! (at least until the blu ray version comes out)
	Gladiator (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray] Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $18.94 Gladiator finally comes to Blu Ray September 1st 2009!!!!
	Hannibal (Two-Disc Special Edition) Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.98 Blockbuster sequel to Silence of the Lambs, and not for the faint of heart. 2 disk Special edition is packed with extras
	Black Hawk Down (3-Disc Deluxe Edition) Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $4.39 This 3 disk set is the one to get to enjoy this War epic with gobs of extras. I prefer it over the Blu Ray release that has NO extras and no real picture upgrade!
	Black Hawk Down (Unrated Extended Cut) Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $3.45 So far this is the only way to see Ridley's Extended Cut edition of BHD, so worth the pickup.
	Matchstick Men (Widescreen Edition) (Snap Case) Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01 Cute satisfing film so Ridley can take a breather before he dives into his next Epic...Tripoli!
	Kingdom of Heaven (2-Disc Widescreen Edition) Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $1.19 Tripoli morphs into Kingdom of Heaven...this Theatrical Cut of KOH is ok, but the Director's cut blows it away.
	Kingdom of Heaven - The Director's Cut (Four-Disc Special Edition) Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $17.99 This is THE set to get to enjoy this Epic Film. Four disk set is worth every minute and penny spent! If you saw the Theatrical cut and were disapointed, pick it up and see Ridley's true vision!
	Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray] Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $9.69 Blu Ray release although beautiful is JUST the Director's cut version of the film, and there are NO extras to be found on this release...not even commentary...I prefer the 4 disk DVD
	A Good Year (Widescreen Edition) Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.78 Another chick flick, but Ridley's visuals make it tolerable and it includes an inovative & different commentary track
	American Gangster (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) [HD DVD] Buy used from: $3.82 I know HD DVD went bust, but this is the only version I own, and I love that it includes the Theatrical and Extended cuts, a Commentary Track, and a std DVD version, and is therefore still the best release available
	Body of Lies (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray] Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.20 The fourth Colaboration of Ridley and Crowe, and they are also rummored to do Robin Hood together next. Film itself tries to explain how things work in the arab world with typical powerful storytelling from Ridley. Both Crowe and Dicaprio nail their parts
