Last week in the weekly poll I asked What’s Ridley Scott’s Best Film? 24 Votes later it was decided that his 1979 action/sci-fi classic, Alien. Alien received 38% of the votes in the poll with his 1982 classic Blade Runner coming a close second with 29% of the votes.  His 2000 film Gladiator won 4 votes which gave it 17% of the total.  I’m surprised to see that the big Other getting a total of 8%of the votes.  Even though I left Matchstick Men and Thelma and Louise off the poll, because I honestly didn’t think they were that big in comparison to the other films that were on the poll.  Tied for fifth place with a vote each are: Black Hawk Down and Kingdom of Heaven: The Director’s Cut.

So do you agree with the popular vote this week?
