Ridley Scott has one of the most diverse filmographies of any mainstream director I can think of. He's responsible for some of the most iconic images in the history of science fiction (Alien, Blade Runner), and his influence has been far-reaching and too big to really even calculate. When he's at the top of his game, Scott is one of the best in the business. But he's also made his fair share of crappy movies, too. I guess that's what happens when you churn out movies at such a prolific pace well into your 70s. Check out the video from editor Martin Kessler (via The Playlist) below, and let us know what you think.

Ridley Scott is known for his atmospheric, highly concentrated visual style, and his films frequently showcase memorable imagery of various environments and different time periods be it 2nd century Rome (Gladiator), 12th century Jerusalem (Kingdom of Heaven), 21st century Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), or the future cityscapes of Blade Runner. Although Ridley Scott’s trademarks may not be as apparent as Speilberg’s or Scorsese’s, his work continues to influence filmmaker world-wide. Vimeo user Martin Kessler put together this brilliant montage showcasing his eclectic body of work. Kudos to Kessler for not only choosing the best scenes from Scott’s oeuvre, but also picking the right music, ranging from 12thCentury church tunes to Public Enemy’s “Can’t Truss It”. Enjoy!

Ridley Scott is well known as a prolific and versatile director with a deft visual modus operandi. His filmography, full of unforgettable classics, solid efforts and utterly forgettable mediocrities, amounts to a mixed bag over the last four decades. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a video tribute to Scott’s vast body of work is equally awe-inspiring and awkward. Vimeo user Martin Kessler switches from Hildegard of Bingen’s groovy 12th Century church tunes to Public Enemy’s “Can’t Truss It" while quickly editing tons of quality footage from Scott’s oeuvre. Of course there are a butt load of images from “Blade Runner” and “Alien," and the tribute begins with the famous Rutger Hauer speech from the former. What’s refreshing to see is that Kessler also gives some love to underrated Scott flicks like “Matchstick Men” and “Body of Lies." We also get...

It hasn't been the greatest week to be a David Lynch fan. He hasn’t shot anything substantial since “Inland Empire” in 2007, and has focused his time and energy on ropey albums, Parisian clubs, fragrances and cameos in “Louie,” each to varying degrees of reward. But it was announced last fall that the 69-year-old filmmaker would helm a revived “Twin Peaks” for Showtime, and the internet seemingly rose as one and rejoiced. Sadly, this past Sunday news emerged that negotiations between the director and network had fallen apart, and if the continuation moves forward, it appears it’ll be without Lynch. As such, Lynchians are probably drowning their sorrows in Pabst Blue Ribbons and cherry pie, but to allow some hope that we’ll see some kind of moving image from the director before too long, below you can find a supercut/video essay/tribute to his work from Martin Kessler.
