GALLERY: The Films of Tony Scott, a Hollywood Top Gun

Tony Scott (1944-2012) got started in show biz by calling the shots on commercials before making his feature directorial debut in 1983 with the pop art vampire drama, "The Hunger," starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. Three years later he would make a little movie called "Top Gun" and the rest is Hollywood history.

Check out our collection of pics from the late, great director's filmography, from "The Hunger" to "Unstoppable."

GALLERY: Who Wouldn't Pine Over Chris Pine?

Chris Pine may have begun his career supporting such famous leading ladies as Anne Hathaway and Lindsay Lohan, but it didn't take long for us to notice those piercing blue eyes and bold brows. We wanted more of Pine, and we certainly got it with his roles in the super macho action flicks "Star Trek," "Unstoppable" and "This Means War."

Chris shows that side in the upcoming dramedy "People Like Us" where he plays Sam, a down on his luck salesman who discovers he has a 30-year-old sister after his father passes away. In the movie, Pine's character reconsiders his family, his life and the choices he's made, but we're certain after flipping through this Hot People Looking Hot Gallery, you'll never reevaluate Chris' hotness again.

‘Unstoppable’ Doesn’t Let Up On Blu-ray/DVD!

"Unstoppable" DVD
Fox

In the middle of the 2000s, director Tony Scott must have gone through a serious mid-life crisis, since his films transformed from slick action vehicles ("Top Gun," "Enemy of the State") into strange, double-exposed, borderline experimental visual exercises on mescaline. Those exhausting entries in Scott's flairy "cubist" period ("Man on Fire," "Domino") have been blessedly left behind for his new thriller entry "Unstoppable," and, after his excesses are peeled away, what we're left with is an old pro doing what he does best: SPEED.

Yes, this is one of those well-oiled cinematic machines with a simple enough premise of a runaway freight train carrying deadly chemicals (why is it never the train with Beanie Babies?) and two blue-collar railroad men who heroically risk their hides to stop it. Get More »

'SNL's' 'Unstoppable' Trailer Spoof Fast Tracks the Laughs

Fox

The thin plot of the recently released "Unstoppable," starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as engineers who must stop a runaway train, is admittedly a little easy to poke fun at.

But after watching this "Saturday Night Live" spoof starring Jay Pharoah as Washington and Taran Killam as Pine, we're convinced 'SNL' is just looking for any excuse to showcase Pharaoah's pitch-perfect Denzel imitation. Get More »

Chris Pine is ditching the next generation for the American railways.

The erstwhile Captain Kirk is set for massive disaster in November's "Unstoppable," in which he plays train operator Will Colson set on a collision course with co-star Denzel Washington. But even with so much excitement, he doesn't put the breaks on his geek-out sesh with MTV.

In the fresh interview, he spills about how grateful he is to have worked with his idols, Washington and director Tony Scott, dishes on how this role may translate to his "Star Trek" fans and answers the inevitable question of the film's commonality with "Speed."
