Best British Gangster Film

[DTS]

What do you reckon. My personal favourite is "The Business". Not sure it really classed as a British film as its set on Costa Del Sol but its all British Actors and a British Dirctor.

Loads of other classisc but love the Retro-ness of the business.

Sexy Beast, Mona Lisa, Long Good Friday.

although a huge Michael Caine fan, I don't really like Get Carter that much....

 

[C C Csiders]

No time for glorifying gangsters, I'm afraid.

Although, Performance is rather good, but then I am a fan of Nic Roeg films.

Sorry Tony the Kray, please do not upset my kneecaps.

4. Performance

Performance is good to watch whilst stoned

best line, Fox to Jagger - "comical little geezer, you'll look funny when you're 50" - how very Mystic Meg

I sincerely hope that you are not advocating the use of illegal substances ! A man of your impotence.

The Business? Awful, disjointed film that looks as if it has been made by a child with limited imagination ...

I thought the business was a quality film too!

Danny Dyer was good in it, and that bad mother F****R also is just well ard!

I know what you mean about the retro feel to it, its superb!

[Leeboy]

the sun's obviously gone to his head

silly Michael

 

[EastStandBlue]

The Business was only good for comical value...

Lock Stock and Snatch were both good... Just a shame His latest effort, Revolver, was absolute W*nk. It was all over the place...

 

[The Artful Shrimper]

Scum

 

[Uncle Leo]

Long Good Friday, with Sexy Beast a strong second.

Love Honour & Obey (amazing film)
Sexy Beast
Snatch
Long Good Friday
Get Carter

The Business

 

[Stats]

Lock Stock for me

Classic lines

Ed ''and there armed''

soap ''armed! armed with what?''

Ed ''er bad breath, colourful language, feather duster what do think they'll be with armed? guns you tit

Great film because it was much off the cuff

and a character called Plank as well

I feel like digging the film out of the collection and giving it a viewing this evening
