Ridley Scott.
Nope.
As we've had a few guesses now, here's a clue: the 1990s film he is best known for directing is (by some considerable distance) the highest-grossing 1990s British film in the United Kingdom.

No, it wasn't Guy Ritchie five posts ago and it's still not him, unsurprisingly.
Nor Ken Branagh, nor Edgar Wright. Another clue?

Nope. He was the writer (of Four Weddings & A Funeral), but not the director.

It is Mike Newell! Not the footballer (who was at Blackburn when I took close notice of such things).
Well played HC! Surprised it took so long though.
