I really like Brit gangster films like 'Lock stock', 'Snatch' and also fighting films like 'Green Street' and 'Football Factory' and also prison films.
Can anyone recommend any films in the same genre?
Cheers

If you like Lock Stock, you'll love RocknRolla, also by Guy Richie.

The Shawshank Redemption is the best prison film and possibly the best film ever made

[happy_face]

I've seen Shawshank and agree, it's a great film.

I'm going to have a look at RocknRolla, not seen that one

thanks, keep them coming if you have more

The business

[Pigletion]

ID is a good film about football hooliganism and fighting (if there is such a thing! he he he). Has a good cast (British film starring Warren Clarke, Reece DInsdale, Sean Pertwee amoung others) and is about police going undercover to find out who the leaders are and then one of them getting a bit too involved. I would say it's better than Green Street.

The Business is on my list to watch, love the characters that Danny Dyer plays.
ID, is that fairly old? I remember watching a film years ago which sounds like ID. It was flippin brilliant

"The football factory " was a great film!

OOps i nearly forgot,Pericat you've obviously never seen,

"Blood in Blood Out, Bound by honour" A truly great film experience! Everyone that reads this WATCH IT!

super suggestions. Definitely got something to work with. Loved Goodfellas, but never got on with Godfather.
A fave film of mine is American History X, can watch it again and again.
Heard a lot about Blood in, Blood out so am deffo gonna watch that.

I wish there were more films similar to Football Factory. Not so much for the football, but I love the film for the east end rough talk.

[Pigletion]

I can't watch American History X ever since I accidentally turned over at the exact moment the guys head was biting the kerb and the boot was coming down...

[AndThenSome]

Godfather was a load of Horseshi........you get the point, American history x, is one of my faves too, if you haven't seen the ones i've mentioned try and see them, proper stuff!
