Ridley Scott Picks a Favorite Shot From Each of His Most Iconic Movies | My Best Shots

[@paradisecity0406able]

[@andreww5574]

Brilliant

[@Rekaert]

Full respect to the guy, he's made hugely different movies, and produced some modern classics which will be highly regarded after many of us are no longer here. He never shoots dull. Even in his lesser regarded films, there are always shots in there which catch your eye because they're beautiful.

[@MrCostaC]

Good shots do not make a good movie. Somebody needs to tell him that.

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

@@MrCostaC They certainly help! A Kubrik film would be half of what it is without the beautiful cinematography, sets, and framing. Film is a visual medium. Sir Ridley Scott has directed some of the best films of all time, and I'd say a dozen good-to-great-to-world class films. There are few since Alfred Hitchcock that can claim that.

[@qcdoomqc]

You are so right, man… as one of the the biggest Alien nerd, I dislike Covenant for many reasons but despite that, there are some shots in that movie that literally took my breath away… my favorite one being the shuttle landing in the beginning. Only a master of spaces, scale and frame can give me goosebumps from a simple shot of a space shuttle landing in a movie I don’t even like lol

[@ReneAllegre]

Ridley doesn't play the game of going against CGI like others have been doing the past couple of years. Instead he says it is a tool and doesn't downplay its importance. As a vfx artist, this comment is a breath of fresh air.

There are a few people who (understatement) do scale as well or better than Ridley. Let's say he's up there in the pantheon.

When it comes to historical films, Ridley Scott doesn't mess about. Visually, from the sets, costumes, special effects, hair and makeup and the battles are all award worthy. 1492 - Conquest of Paradise, Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, The Last Duel, Robin Hood, Exodus - Gods and Kings and The Duellists. Just amazing.

[@HipiO7]

The sequence in Alien of Ripley running through the corridors after setting the Nostromo to self-destruct, and then running back to disarm it, only to run again back to the shuttle is one of my favorites in all cinema. It's insane how damn good it looks, the cinematography is just sublime. As for single shot? When she's coming up the ladder towards the end and the camera is zoomed in on her fingernails, and then she slowly pops her head over the edge with a look of abject terror. So good.

[@nationaltrevor255]

A masterpiece. It’s fascinated and terrified me since seeing it as a 13 or 14 year old back when it was released. At that age, I was just immersed and hypnotised by it. It’s only as the years pass you notice the detail and significance of every moment. That it was pretty early in Scott’s output is even more incredible. Genius..

[@alanguile8945]

I agree and I understand that they didn't even have a real ladder. That raised edge was so she could appear to be coming up a ladder! Cost restrictions never looked so good as on Alien!

[@matthiasmajoris4029]

My favorite shot from alien is the close up of Ripley's hand when shes climbing up out of the ladder. Beautiful focus switch from her sweaty hand to her sweaty face as she slowly peers up from the floor below. All the lights from the alarm system casting an array of glorious color.. A++ shot!! That entire scene when she overloads the reactor/escapes the nostromo is all gorgeous.

[@TheRAINMan059]

@@Omnipotentmonkey He has some recent duds but his hits are still excellent. The Martian and The Last Duel are easily in his top 5 best and they're both within the last 16 years. American Gangster, Prometheus, and All the Money in the World are also mentionably good movies.

[@Omnipotentmonkey]

@@TheRAINMan059 Now I know you've got a low standard if you're considering "Prometheus" to meet the bar of "good movie" it's comfortably mediocre at best, but the worst type of mediocre, run of the mill, bland, coat-tail riding mediocre. All the Time in the World is similar, comfortably mediocre. American Gangster is the last of his films before this 16 year period set. I agree that the Martian and Last Duel are good, but House of Gucci and Alien: Covenant are garbage, so he averages out to a pretty mediocre standard. If I was to score them: Body of Lies: 5/10 Robin Hood: 6/10 Prometheus: 5/10 The Counselor: 4/10 Exodus: 6/10 The Martian: 8.5/10 Alien Covenant: 3/10 All the Time in the World: 6/10 Last Duel: 8/10 House of Gucci: 4/10 Averages out to a 5.5 in my book. and the reception for Napoleon so far strikes me as a movie I'm going to hate.

This needs to be a series. I know GQ have done a similar thing, mainly with actors but a few directors, but yes. More of this.

[@jlg395]

A Breitling Endurance is a great watch to wear for a man who just keeps going and going.

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

That opening shot in Aliens was so much more critical than even Scott wants to acknowledge. This ship is going to be the entire location for the story and in it self is a character for the film but most important of all. In just a few seconds we are teleported to this far vast isolated ship floating threw space, and it took no imagination on our part to feel like we were actually there with the crew. Sound was also such an amazing part because the entire film has a solid constant sound that the ship makes, always giving us with out knowing the impression we are on that ship. Sadly i think because of editing and the screenplay, the Martian didn't give me any sense of isolation at all because Scott didn't follow the 1 rule you do with movies about being stranded...you NEVER cut away to another location, EVER! Case and point (Apart from Alien/Aliens is the greatest example....CAST AWAY) The moment you cut away....our audience is taken out of isolation and is no longer stranded with our main character but instead just chilling with regular people going about their day...and the Martian did way to much of that to the point where i never once felt Matt's characters sense of hopelessness but instead...ok get on with it, lets save him already.

[@Wildeheart79]

Agreed, interesting post script to the ship set from Alien was that in pre-production he encouraged the actors to explore it and really sink into it because he wanted them to seem completely at home and unimpressed by all this sci-fi design like they'd lived in it for months/years. It worked really well for the performances I think, definitely helped the buy in that this was a grizzled crew who'd been in that ship for ages and not just excited actors marvelling at all the cool set design whilst they read their lines

[@wakeupuk3860]

Could not agree with you more about the first shots of the Nostromo, especially you felt you were there which, to me, is very much what all films should be able to do, but most can't. I disagree with about the Martian as the whole point, he is the ONLY human on the whole of the planet and Ripley especially in that shot when he circles Mark Watney because it shows so very well the vastness and expanse of a planet that he is alone on and thus your valid filming point "NEVER cut away to another location" can be ignored. Also and it may be that you are not ex military or been trained in survival as astronauts very much are, is the many hours of practise in hazardous conditions having to survive as best you can. You learnt that it is the mundane and regular pattern of carrying out tasks every day which keeps you sane. In my opinion having been in the RAF and done a very low level survival course, it was this concept that survival is far more about a state of mind that enables you to use what you have, the surroundings and resources you find your self in and I think The Martian does that very well.

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

I think the best shot in Blade Runner was the opening scene with the close up of the eye overlooking the city below, and the reflection of the lights with the exploding gas stacks. In Gladiator, the shot where Maximus is dying. The camera pulls back as the dolly tracks sideways. Great effect.

[@64chess]

Master storyteller. Mythos brought to life without losing its etherial grandeur.

"The thing that the Searchers got right was the space and time. The time it takes to ride the landscape, the time place to go somewhere. Where he says we're going off, he says I'll see you in a year and you're all on a horseback. I mean it's such a different universe. It's almost like science fiction."

Having trained as a Photographer, taught graphics and now retired have for the past three years taught my self and studied Oil and WC painting, I could not agree more with his comment "I have a good eye". Many people can be good photographers and paint well and study about balance, centre-point, perspective, composition, rule of thirds and many more such skills, but it does not mean they will have a 'good eye' which essentially is to look at a scene, objects, landscape and people in them in a totally 'unique' way than most people cannot do. I don't think it can be learnt, I have tried all my life but failed, it is people like Ridley Scott who 'naturally' have it as instinct and that iw why his films are so good. I am surprised he did not choose anything from his film 'The Duellists' which virtually every shot and scene to me is perfection.

Ridley Scott is cray-cray. RS: Oh, it was always my thesis theory. It was one or two people who were relevant were... I can't remember if Hampton agreed with me or not. But I remember someone had said, “Well, isn't it corny?” I said, “Listen, I'll be the best f#@king judge of that. I'm the director, okay?” So, and that, you learn -- you know, by then I'm 44, so I'm no f#@king chicken. I'm a very experienced director from commercials and The Duellists and Alien. So, I'm able to, you know, answer that with confidence at the time, and say, “You know, back off, it's what it's gonna be.” Harrison, he was never -- I don't remember, actually. I think Harrison was going, “Uh, I don't know about that.” I said, “But you have to be, because Gaff, who leaves a trail of origami everywhere, will leave you a little piece of origami at the end of the movie to say, ‘I've been here, I left her alive, and I can't resist letting you know what's in your most private thoughts when you get drunk is a f#@king unicorn!’” Right?
