Scott's film Unstoppable again starring Washington (with Chris Pine) was released in November 2010.

His films were generally more popular with audiences than critics and include The Hunger (1983) Top Gun (1986) Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) Days of Thunder (1990) The Last Boy Scout (1991) True Romance (1993) Crimson Tide (1995) Enemy of the State (1998) Spy Game (2001) Man on Fire (2004) Déjà Vu (2006) The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) and Unstoppable (2010). Anthony David "Tony" Scott (21 June 1944 – 19 August 2012) was an British film director and producer from England.
