(At least in my experience).

This is Ridley's work:


1977 The Duellists
1979 Alien
1982 Blade Runner

1985 Legend
1987 Someone to Watch Over Me
1989 Black Rain
1991 Thelma & Louise
1992 1492: Conquest of Paradise
1996 White Squall
1997 G.I. Jane
2000 Gladiator
2001 Hannibal
Black Hawk Down
2003 Matchstick Men
2005 Kingdom of Heaven
2006 A Good Year
2007 American Gangster
2008 Body of Lies

2010 Robin Hood
2012 Prometheus

I've seen the bolded, and I'm looking forward to 2012 Prometheus.

I have to say that I like Ridley Scott.  His work is generally average to above average entertainment and he does a good job with set pieces.

Alien and Blade Runner are stand-out science fiction pieces.  Gladiator is one of the best sword & scandals.  Kingdom of Heaven has a lot of beautiful footage.

Black Hawk Down is a favorite of the United States military, as it depicts urban combat operations more accurately than any other film.
