Your analysis is pretty thorough, but you have missed some strong films that Ridley Scott made which include:Alien - One of the best horror/science fiction films of all time
Black Rain - very powerful film, well done
Thelma & Louise
Gladiator - super movie which I thought was fantastic from start to finish, have watched it several times. Like the sound bite used at the beginning from "Zulu" during opening battle scene, nice "tip-of-the-hat" to a great British film.
Black Hawk Down - incredible realismTo list only "The Duellists" & "Blade Runner" is not giving Ridley Scott the full credit he deserves.
