You can't compare Guy Richies films to any of the above. Granted some of his films have been great films, ****** is one of my most favourite films. I think the closest British film to the above might have to be Rise of the Footsoldier. Great film.

Most decent ones have been mentioned. American Gangster is pretty good as well.

If you like gangster films then see it you must - ignore the hype and the fact it is 35 years old and just watch what amounts to cinematic perfection.

Quoted for truth, 1 and 2 are superb films.

Remember switching on half way through Get Carter and seeing Alf Roberts getting bitch slapped by Michael Caine and thinking that Coronation Street had taken a turn for the better.
