RIP Mr.Scott... so many of my fav scenes that i know verbatim from his films coz i have seen them over n over again..his use of background score... on d surface of it-slick..but essentially his stories were complex relationships between his protagonists that were subtly layered within the framework of his blockbuster endeavors..crimson tide, spy game, top gun, true romance, deja vu being among my fav film of all.'
