10 Great Directors With No Movies In The IMDB Top 250
3. Tony Scott
Highest-Rated Movies: True Romance (7.9) and Man On Fire (7.7)
The late Tony Scott (Ridley's younger brother) is responsible for some of the greatest action movies of the last 30 years, and unlike so many other pairs of Hollywood relatives, he did not live in his older sibling's shadow, and was able to carve out his own successful career that was wildly different from his brother's.
Where Ridley favoured bleak sci-fi, Tony favoured engaging action: Top Gun, Enemy Of The State, Crimson Tide and Unstoppable all have plenty of explosions, fistfights and shootouts, but they never devolve into stupidity or excessive showmanship.
There are likeable characters and sharp stories at the center of Tony's movies, and that blockbuster sheen is just the icing on the cake.
Due to his passing in 2012 he doesn't have any future efforts that might land him a space on the Top 250, but almost all of his movies are rated very favourably (6.0+), and this only proves that he truly had a knack for giving audiences a good time at the movies.
