Re: All-Time Best British Gangster Film
I read JJ Connolly's Layer Cake over 10 years ago , the film doesn't do the book justice really , it's a fantastic read !

Re: All-Time Best British Gangster Film
One of my favourite movies;
From Wikiquote;
Ken: Coming up?
Ray: What's up there?
Ken: The view.
Ray: The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here.
Ken: Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world.
Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.
Ken: You from the States?
Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.
Ken: Your girlfriend's very pretty.
Jimmy: She's ain't my girlfriend. She's a prostitute I just picked up.
Ken: I was not aware that there were any prostitutes in Bruges.
Jimmy: You just have to look in the right places... brothels are good.
Ken: Well, you've picked up a very pretty prostitute.
Jimmy: Thank you.
Ken: How did your date go?
Ray: My date involved two instances of extreme violence, one instance of her hand on my cock and my finger up her thing, which lasted all too briefly - isn't that always the way? - one instance of me stealing 5 grams of a very high quality cocaine and one instance of me blinding a poofy little skinhead, so, all in all, my evening pretty well balanced out...fine.
Ken: You've got five grams of coke?
Ray: [shakes head] No, four grams on me and one gram in me, which me heart is going like the ****ing clappers as if I'm about to have a heart attack, so if I collapse any minute now please remember to tell the doctors it might have something to do with the coke.
Eirik: [about Ray] I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say.
Harry: Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault.
Eirik: What?
Harry: I mean basically if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks and you allow your gun to be taken off you and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah really it's all your fault for being such a poof, so why don't you stop whining and cheer the **** up.
Yuri: Eirek - I really wouldn't respond.
Eirik: I thought you wanted the guy dead?
Harry: I do want the guy dead, I want him ****ing crucified but it don't change the fact that he stitched you up like a blind little gay boy, does it?
[Harry is viciously attacking the telephone]
Harry's wife: It's an inanimate ****ing object!
Harry: You're an inanimate ****ing object!
[Later]
Harry: I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset.
Ken: Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a ****. You're a **** now, and you've always been a ****. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger ****. Maybe have some more **** kids.
Harry: [furious] Leave my kids ****ing out of it! What have they done? You ****ing retract that bit about my **** ****ing kids!
Ken: I retract that bit about your **** ****ing kids.
Harry: Insult my ****ing kids? That's going overboard, mate!
Ken: I retracted it, didn't I? [quietly] Still leaves you a ****...

Re: All-Time Best British Gangster Film
Ok I forced myself to watch sexy Beast the other week- I think its a boys film to be fair. Ben Kingsly does play his part well but I just find it all a bit slow... controversial I know- I did nod off for a while in it which is always a bad sign for me. Its a bit like the Godfather- have never managed to watch it in one sitting as I get bored where as men wet themselves over it.
Also watched Lock Stock again the other night- genius! Snatch is next on my list fro viewing again- love it!
