Has he made a good film in a decade?

>Gladiator

He's well into his second decade without a good film already.

American Gangster was decent. Black Hawk Down was okay. Matchstick Men was good.

Mediocre, mediocre and very mediocre. They're passable for a sunday afternoon, but they're not "good" good.

>>82798615
Boy you really have it for Ridley huh

>>82798257
A Good Year.

He's a very competent director on a technical level, but he clearly can't cut it on his own and needs a strong creative team to support him. You have a decade and a half of hits and cult classics, then the Gladiator, and after that he just flatlines completely. I don't "have it" for him in any way, it's just how it is.

It has probably zero conflict but somehow manages to be so enjoyable.

>>82798257
He never made a single good movie to begin with.

>They're passable for a sunday afternoon
Yeah, Matchstick Men is the king of sunday afternoon. Cage is great playing himself.

But yeah, answer to >>82798257 depends on how much you liked Gladiator. I thought it was a mediocre movie that looked like a Pepsi commercial.

Alien and Blade Runner are still the best things he's done.

>Alien and Blade Runner are still the best things he's done.

i wonder why he couldn't quite nail it down again since then

The only movie of his other than Alien and Blade Runner that I like is Matchstick Men. I was really disappointed by The Duelists especially with how much praise it gets.

>The Duelists

It's really just felt like discount Barry Lyndon to be honest my dude

That crusader film, extended edition, was great as fuck
