The Italian Job
Get Carter
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Re: All-Time Best British Gangster Film

We need a better definition here - are we including any 'crime' movie? The Italian Job is great, but I wouldn't call it a 'gangster' film. Irene Handl and Benny Hill are in it too............. :huh:

Re: All-Time Best British Gangster Film

what about football hooligan films? if they are acceptable then Green Street and The Firm need to be on list...if they're not then I would vote for Snatch every time..

I think Sexy Beast is a cracking film , great acting by Ben Kingsley , he's a proper horrible villan in that film...

Enjoyed Green St, but it's not a 'gangster' film. Not seen The Firm.

The Original Firm is the best , not the remake the one with Gary Oldman . Also Rise of the Footsoldier , The Football Factory and Cass , i think they're all better than Green Street...

Not bad , i thought The Bank Job with Jason Statham was ok as well , all a bit cliched though but still enjoyable all the same.
