- '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.
