Watched it on Film Four for the last 2 nights running:

The Long Good Friday

An absolute classic. Forget ******, Lock Stock, Essex Boy's they are just fancy Dans. The Long Good Friday is the daddy no question.
.
And a young Pierce Brosnan as an IRA gunman, Gillian Taylforth when you'd want to have a blow job off her. Charlie from Casualty when he was slicing them up rather than stitching them up. And Bob Hoskins before he went to America.
Get Carter is a very, very close second, but TLGF id the one

Steve Fort

Nah, Love Honour and Obey has got to be the best. I see Sexy Beast the other day, blinding film!!

Anything with Ray in it usually is the bollox IMHO.

"Look at ya, Leatherman, Leatherman, you're like a big fat f*cking crocodile, i could make a suitcase out of you!" Classic

Steve Howat

Quite agree, The Long Good Friday is by far the best (watched it meself on F4 last night ).

Mind you, Lock Stock is a good 2nd IMHO....

What about Harry Potter? He's all the rage at the mo'

beemerboy

Sorry, but as much as I like TLGF Get carter is the one for me.

Anyone see the remake - garbage from start to finish.

Sexy Beast is superb, how about Gangster #1 or ******

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

TLGF and Get Carter for me.
I wonder how many people realise that the book from which Get Carter was filmed, ("Jack's return home"), was set in Scunny?
Apparently, the film-makers didn't see Scunny as sexy enough..........can't think why not??:
Alcazar

Pete Croney

Good Fellas, Donny Brasco and Pulp Fiction.

If I had to choose 1 it would be Good Fellas.

Brendan Hughes

Pete - still living as before the War of Independence, then??

Enlish you turnip

for me it would be either gangster No 1, or sexy beast.

there was another good film with ray winstone & that ugly bird that plays waynetta slob, can't remember the name , or even if was about gangsters - very good film though.

super_si

Lock Stock or ******.

Im come come on how cool is Brick Top

GaryK

LMFAO!!!!

Mind you gangster #1? Rates in my top 10 worst film of *all* time

LGF is a classic just like lock stock and ****** will be in 20 years time.

Buttyawayfromhome

Perhaps the (grand)Daddy of them - Brighton Rock.
May be a bit dated now but must have been dead cool when it first came out.
Great acting though by Dickie Attenborough

I'd have to say "The Limey" with Terence Stamp is worth a punt as well. Sort of like Get Carter in America.

TVR Gary

Nobody has mentioned ''The face'' with Robert Carlisle .... superb bank robbery gangster type flick.

If not has to be ****** .... lock stock .... and for the same sort of theme .....mean machine is pretty cool

what would scooby do

Get Carter

Ratman

Interesting(?) aside:

I spotted Bricktop (aka Alan Ford) as a taxi driver in An American Werewolf In London the other night. When was that filmed? 1982-ish? He hasn't changed!

Ratman

planky

The 1971 original 'Get Carter' is the best by a mile!

But i must admit 'The Long Good Friday' and 'Sexy Beast' are two top Brit ganster flicks also

MarkO

Non-brit films, one of my favourites is 'State of Grace' (Sean Penn).

The Zohan

Monalisa, well i liked it, Bob hoskins was spot on!

Long Good Friday is a classy film
