Snatch, Layer Cake, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

[akshatp]

These movies rock and I can watch them over and over again.

Name me three other "same genre" movies that rock as much as these three!!! (Trilogies dont count)

 

[destrekor]

I've heard RocknRolla is supposed to be right up there with those movies, not sure yet... I've got it and going to watch it one of these days. Love Snatch.
And I have Layer Cake and have yet to watch it. Again... one day.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I really don't see Layer Cake as belonging to the same genre as the other two - it's much more serious, and RocknRolla is much more similar to Snatch and Lock Stock (though I agree these are all good movies). If you like those movies you owe it to yourself to see Sexy Beast, which is just awesome. The Bank Job is another English crime caper that's generally enjoyable too.

I guess I lump Layer Cake into the first two because of the cast, and also the dialogue/quotes in the movie. Pure gold all three of them.

Sexy Beast. It's more serious, but largely in the same genre. The Bank Job is one of our favorite movies.

 

[Auggie]

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill? Different levels of comedy in each of those, but overall those Tarantino films are similar enough and very good.

I'm trying to match in The Big Lebowski with two other like movies but I can't for some reason, which is a shame, because it's such an excellent movie that I enjoy to this day.

Personally, I didn't think that Rocknrolla is as good as the other three, but it wasn't bad.

Layer Cake is by far my fav of the three you listed...

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

I'm just jumping in this thread to agree with you

[JDawg1536]

The, Big, and Lebowski.

 

[Mo0o]

RocknRolla is a lot weaker than the other two in my opinion

 

[dbk]

You forgot RocknRolla

 

[TallBill]

Never heard of layer cake, own and love the other 2.

 

[MoPHo]

All very good movies. :thumbsup:

 

[EvilYoda]

Yeah, two of those are by Guy Ritchie and Rocknrolla is his latest - it's also supposed to be the first of a trilogy. I thought it was good (I love his stuff), but still not quite as entertaining as "The Hard Case" or LSaTSB.

I wish I had snatch

 

[Slick5150]

I enjoyed RockNRolla quite a bit. But here are my 3 genre movies to add:

1) The Score (Ed Norton & DeNiero)
2) The Boondock Saints
3) Shade

The Score was decent, at best. The other two I havent seen... YET

 

[mrSHEiK124]

I liked Rock n Rolla

And since we're talking about British movies, Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead were good too.

 

[Ballatician]

Snatch is one of my favorite all time movies and I also liked Lock, Stock. I'm going to look into Layer Cake and some of the other ones mentioned here.

 

[Fayd]

agreed on lock stock but I still like this genre whatever it is.

I want to see RocknRolla and Layer Cake now.

I never get tired of watching Snatch.

Boondock Saints is a MUST!
