I'll never forgive Sir Ridley Scott for Napoleon, which I still maintain is the most bonkers historical drama ever made, but the director is a legend for a reason. Alien, Blade Runner, The Martian—you get it. To celebrate the premiere of his newest film, The Dog Stars, we ranked every one of Scott's films from worst to best. See where your favorite landed below.—Brady Langmann, senior entertainment editor

The 88-year-old director has done it all, from sci-fi blockbusters to historical epics. Where does his latest, The Dog Stars, land?

Ridley Scott is a director’s director. For 50 years and counting, the thrice Oscar-winning filmmaker has helmed classics like Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Gladiator, and The Martian. At age 88, he isn’t slowing down one bit.
With his thirtieth film, The Dog Stars, Scott returns to the big screen with a new maximalist science-fiction thriller. In the film, Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin star as two men trying to survive a hellish post-apocalyptic landscape. (We won’t spoil the exact nature of the threat here.) The Dog Stars marks Scott’s return to the science-fiction genre that he mastered long ago with the seminal 1979 smash hit Alien. But while it was Sir Ridley Scott who showed us that no one can hear us scream in space, he’s also moved us with down-to-earth dramas, thrillers, and most notably, historical epics.
In celebration of his latest film, you may be jonesing to revisit some of Scott’s past work—or seek out the few pictures in his deep filmography you might’ve missed. But which ones are actually worth adding to your queue? And which can you skip? Below, Esquire’s entertainment team has ranked every single movie directed by Sir Ridley Scott. Chances are you’ve seen number one. But can you guess where the other 29 Ridley Scott movies land?

It would happen like this: I’d get an email at 4:15 p.m. that said my roommate was looking at porn—along with a pixelated image of penetration.
We were both members of an accountability group at Southwest Baptist University called Dangerous Men. In fact, he’s the one who introduced me to it. If you were in this group, you were not supposed to watch porn. At all. Everyone in the group had an accountability partner, and you’d have to share your masturbation habits with them. Whenever you were tempted, you were supposed to text your accountability partner and be like, Dude, I’m horny right now. I need you to distract me.

In the haze and humidity of summer, I often lose track of what day it is. But once I start seeing advertisements for the start of the US Open, I know that we’re approaching the end of August. That doesn’t mean the darty is coming to an end. Instead, it means the best drinks of the summer are coming out at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the annual Grand Slam tennis tournament is held.
By now, you’ve probably tried a Honey Deuce, the event’s iconic signature cocktail. But if you’re looking for another refreshing drink to sip while you watch the best tennis players in the world collide in fierce competition, you should crack open the Moët Serve, a brand new Champagne cocktail created by Moët & Chandon.
