All Tony Scott films ranked

It started off as an accident, a few random Tony Scott rewatches because I was going through a Denzel phase and wanted to see how I felt about Unstoppable and Crimson Tide years later. Then I decided to see how a few older Tom Cruise movies aged, so I did a Top Gun/Days Of Thunder double. Well, before I knew it I had seen a good chunk of Tony Scott's filmography and found myself enjoying all of them even more the second time watching them. At that point I was committed. In his lifetime, Scott directed 16 features, and I was going to watch (or rewatch) all of them. And now that I've done this, what do I do with it? Make a list, of course. So I'm gonna rank all of his directorial efforts from least-favorite to most-favorite. Keep in mind these are all pretty fresh in my mind and I don't have a nostalgic connection to almost any of them at all, so I'm just gonna be coming at this whole list essentially as a new convert -- someone who wasn't a fan of Tony Scott who has become a very big fan in a very short period of time. 

I guess I'll get started now so as not to become like an online recipe where you scroll past 80 pages of anecdotes and the history of cooking before finally seeing how much flour to put in a cake. My least favorite Tony Scott movie and the first on my list is, unsurprisingly...

My Top 25 Movies of 2022

2022 was a step up for movies over the past couple, and I hope this list reflects that.  

I've done a terrible job at keeping up on writing any kind of reviews for the movies I've been watching over the past few years, but even though I'm a little later on this than I would usually aim to be with a 2022 countdown, I'm still happy that I've gotten this done at all. I watched about 90-100 movies from this last year, and these are my favorite ones. At least, as I see them right now. I really want to start doing a series of redos on these lists that show how much my opinion has changed over the years, but that's for another time. Anyway, here is the list.

Also, there are too many movies for me to cover in honorable mentions, so if your favorite isn't on here, just pretend it barely missed the cut if that helps you sleep at night.

My Top 10 UGH Movies of 2022

I generally don't bother watching a lot of the "worst" movies of the year. That being said, sometimes movies that I really do hate slip through the cracks, which is bound to happen when you watch around 100 movies from each year. So instead of doing a traditional countdown of the worst movies of the year, I do what I call the top "ugh" movies of the year. Basically, that means the movies I found the most disappointing, overrated, over-hyped, or bad. It's an all-encompassing thing that's (almost) purely subjective, so there's (almost) no objectivity to it. 

I don't remember doing one of these lists for the past year or two, but hopefully I'll be able to go back in time and fix that, but until then here are my top UGH movies of 2022!
