Thanks!  I really just wanted a chance to hate on Gladiator again.

Wow - someone voted for Blackhawk Down?

I think that's one of his best and one the better war movies made in the last 15 yrs, better than Private Ryan...

Blade Runner being his best
Hey, nice marmot!

of what i've seen I gotta go with American Gangster.  Just a really average film bordering on not good.

My childhood self prevents me from picking what my head tells me (Legend). In fact, I would say that I would pick one of his later films, but have not wanted to see any of them - the worst of these looks to be A Good Year. The only later period Scott (as in, post-Hannibal) I have seen is Kingdom of Heaven which was... incredibly dull, but I liked Ed Norton's shiny mask (recycled from Gladiator? Like most of that film's good bits).

I still shiver whenever I think of Hannibal, and it ain't because of that brain scene.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Tom Cruise in a loincloth accompanied by Tangerine Dream, I'm suprised it isn't hated more.
