Enemy of The State Movie Poster

Sad news reported on August 19, 2012.  Director Tony Scott committed suicide.

I’m sure you’ve seen many of his movies without even knowing it (unless you are a film buff).

Tony Scott’s filmography includes:

THE HUNGER (1983)
TOP GUN (1986)
DAYS OF THUNDER (1990)
TRUE ROMANCE (1993)
CRIMSON TIDE (1995)
MAN ON FIRE (2004)
UNSTOPPABLE (2010)

Even though he never won an Academy Award for directing, Tony Scott consistently produced movies worth watching.  That was his gift to us.

If you have never scene ENEMY OF THE STATE starring Will Smith, you may want to add it to your DVD rental list.  This is my favorite movie about the digital age and the pervasiveness of technology and how it affects our right to privacy, as well as our daily lives.  Tony Scott was ahead of the curve when he made this movie.

He surely will be missed.
