May 2, 1999Alien Nasty on a Spaceship
One of the most influential films on this site, producing a host of sequels and making the careers of all involved. At heart, a simple monster on a spaceship film, it is made into a classic through Ridley Scott's relentless suspense and H.R. Giger's design work

Jan 8, 2000Cyberpunk Future/Hunt for Escaped Androids
Ridley Scott's film was not a success at the time but has since been regarded as a SF masterpiece, one of the defining screen treatments of android themes while the incredibly dense Cyberpunk vision of the future was copied by many subsequent films

Mar 13, 2013Sinisterly Charming Uncle
The English-language debut from South Korea's Park Chan-wook is a supremely controlled film, more like a period arthouse film than drenched in the buckets of gore we expect of Park … Essentially a reworking of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, a film that takes place all in smouldering tensions

Sep 10, 2016Artificially Intelligent Android
A.I. film directed by Ridley Scott's son.

Rating: ★★
Aug 5, 2017UFOs/Found Footage
Film set around the Phoenix Lights, one of the most well-documented modern UFO sightings. Despite being co-produced by Ridley Scott and receiving a theatrical release, this does not seem too different from the standard Found Footage film that novices make for about $2000
