This looked tough until I saw True Romance at the bottom.

1. True Romance
2. Crimson Tide
3. Enemy of the State
4. The Last Boy Scout (and this is good. Another Shane Black script?)
5. Top Gun
6. The Hunger
7. Man On Fire
8. Days of Thunder (all that curly red hair, oh Nicole!)
9. Deja Vu
10. The Fan

Spy Game, Beverley Hills Cop 2, Domino; Mush.

Tony Scott's films are ones that I tend to differ on with a lot of people in terms of which are good or bad or even which are better than others.

His good ones are really close, with Crimson Tide just barely edging out True Romance, Enemy of the State, and the incredibly underrated The Last Boy Scout.

If you have seen the original Pelham, how can you stomach watching a remake? No Shaw, no Matthau, no thank you very much.

Fliegs we were on the same page on Predator 2 and then you have to go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like...that^.

and the original has a really cool ending plus Martin Balsam plus Hector Elizondo plus the original of all the villains going by the names of colours.
