I've been a fan of Ridley Scott since I saw 'Blade Runner'. (I had no idea who had directed the movie or who Scott was, but I had become a big fan -- I think not only of BR, but of movies made with visual panache). Here's a great interview with Elvis Mitchell on The Treatment. I especially like the discussion of the voiceover work and planned definitive version of 'Blade Runner' on DVD.
They also talk about how Scott started directing commercials. Here's a couple:
Mac 1984
Chanel No. 5
And here's one I'll bet you've never seen -- The Hovis 'Bike' Advert
