Agreed on both points! I loved "Triumph" and I also usually like Ridley Scott. And you even named the two movies of his that I like!
Blade Runner recently won a prize for the best science fiction film ever. I have yet to buy the DVD but hope to. I'm tired of borrowing my brother-in-law's VHS version. I gave it to him for Christmas one year! Why doesn't Scott stick to that genre. He is a genius at it.
