Any other cool English Ganstar type movies ?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Westin · 09-11-2002, 07:07 PM

I fell in love with Guy Ritchies SNATCH (which kicked ass)... then I watched Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels ... and that fucking ROCKED too!

I just watched 24 hours in London ... which was also very good ... i recommened it if you like the other mentioned movies.

But my problem is, I NEED MORE! what other movies follow the same basic story line of the crazy trash-talking brits who kill anything and everything in sight

(anything directed by Guy Ritchie thatfollows the same story line ? )

Help ... I'm hurtin' over here

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch both kick ass. I think those are the _only_ mainstream Guy Ritchie movies, and I have never seen anything else like them as far as British gangster flicks. You might like the British TV series Second Sight. No gangsters, but detective stuff.

Actually, I just remembered something! The guy who played "Dog" in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is one of the main character in Second Sight. Also, Jason Statham (Lock, Stock and Snatch) is starring in that new movie "The Transporter".

The Original British gangster movie: Get Carter.

SpaceAce · 09-11-2002, 07:14 PM

Oh, yeah, you might like "Double X: The Name of the Game".

No way dude, the new one is different fa' sho' but it was good...and I FUCKING hate Stallone. Plus the cameo by Michale Caine kicked ass.

West - You seen Trainspotting, right?

eroswebmaster · 09-11-2002, 07:22 PM

The Krays is based upon a true story...it's not as action packed as any of Ritchie's films but good.

some other good euro action/gangster type films.

La Femme Nikita

Killing Zoe

Trainspotting (Of course.)

I'll think of others later...right now my mind's drawing a blank.

I was wondering who that guy was! Now I remember! It should be good then.

I have to mention Trainspotting again. It's not a gangster film but it's done in a super cool british kinda way. Vinnie Jones also did a movie last year. I didn't get to catch it while I was over there last so I don't knowhow it is. It should be on video now.

first two movies hubby made me watch when i came to the UK were Get Carter and the Italian Job. Just make sure you watch the originals. The end of Get Carter still gets me.

hey, was the Italian Job the one with the goons laying a beatdown on a room full of gansters, and then a dude runs in with a Tommy Gun and just shoots the shit out of them. Was that it?

The Kray's kicked ass. Cool movie.

There was also a real cool British gangster movie with Bob Hoskins - they chubby guy from Roger Rabbit

diggy · 09-11-2002, 07:58 PM

Westin!

You REALLY wanna see a movie staring Jude Law and that guy from hackers called 'Love, Honour, Obey'.. In my opinion it's up there with the top brit gangstar flicks.. actually i reckon its better than the others.. fucken awesome movie, a bit rare though..

Do yourself a favour and go watch it right now!

jimmy3way · 09-11-2002, 08:00 PM

The Italian Job, didn't they wreck like 50 Mini Coopers in that?

Westin · 09-12-2002, 03:33 AM

volante · 09-12-2002, 03:53 AM

Bob Hoskins also starred in a couple of good gangster movies - "The Long Good Friday" and "Mona Lisa" spring to mind....

ServerGenius · 09-12-2002, 04:05 AM

You guys know him from the videoclip "Music" by Madonna
He's the limo driver.... He has 2 or 3 comedy tapes....and a

Westin:

Before you see any of those go rent "Gangster Number 1"

The best UK gangster movie I've seen so far.

Also if you like these movies then also I recommend:

"Romper Stomper" - older movie with Russell Crowe
"Miller's Crossing" - older mafia movie with UK accents

Tex Willer · 09-12-2002, 04:26 AM

see "The 51th State"

Come on, you Reeeds!
Liverpool rocks
