Snatch is great, but I assume thats what he meant by Guy Ritchie's movie, since it's probably his best (imo).


Smoking Aces (first one, not 2nd) was kinda enjoyable too, if Snatch is your thing. Not as good, but definitively watchable.

Really? I bought Smokin Aces since it seemed like it would be good and it was used at FYE. I thought it was complete rubbish. Almost like it should have been a straight-to-DVD release that no one really watched.

I quite liked Green Street Hooligans, though not an English gangster flick per se... hooligan flick.

You might want to check out Dobermann also, which again... is not an English gangster flick, but a French one.

And while i am on a role... Renegade (also called Blueberry), which is neither English nor Gangster but a Western with an English Gangster feel?

Yeah, but still I think you would like all of these given a look.

Eff it, a French Thug movie - District 13

Watch em all!

I've heard about The Krays, i'll have to check it out. Oh and Mortensen was great in Eastern Promises.

Does Harry Brown count as a British gangster film? It's definately gang related.

It's kind of the Michael Caine version of Gran Torino.

Gangster No.1 is good stuff.

Gangster No.1 is good stuff.

Paul Bettany needs more roles like that and less Firewall crap. He's too good.
