what's the ultimate Guy Ritchie kino? for me it's pic rel
Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels
Other urls found in this thread:
Rocknrolla
I rewatched Snatch the other day and it just came across as cringe, like it was trying too hard to be funny, stylistic, and cool.
Gentlemen is my favorite but I grow weed for my job and I love the bougie trackies that Colin's boys wear.
Rocknrolla is the Guy film I've rewatched the most over the years. I feel it has good buildup without being as slow as the others.
Snatch is the worst of the bunch
YA LYK DAGS?
snatch > power gap > rest
rocknrolla definitely
it's perfectly tailored
lock stock is very crude, snatch is getting there, r'n'r' is peak, gentlemen is decline
same for me
>trying too hard to be funny, stylistic, and cool.
So a Guy Ritchie movie?
is there another movie where jason statham has hair?
There is no such thing.
You forgot Revolver. And I dont blame you.
Revolver
Snatch > Lock, Stock > The Gentlemen > RocknRolla
Lock, Stock is a great comedy.
Snatch does everything Lock, Stock did just a little bit better, almost every line is quotable + Brad Pitt.
RocknRolla doesn't work as well due to it being more modern/shiny, and also unironically uses the term 'RocknRolla'.
The Gentlemen is good but I feel like only half the characters work, Grant is hilarious but Hunnam is awful, for example
Sucks there will never be a sequel despite the tease.
You haven't seen Rocknrolla, have you?
I have. Doing the 'new white collar London' trope just doesn't fit Ritchie's style at all.
Tales from the London Underworld doesn't fit Ritchie's style? What is Ritchie's style then?
Criminal underworld yes, high end real estate deals with Russian billionaires no. Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton are so plain and uninteresting in that film, Ritchie should do geezers only, that's his strength (of which he has very few).
isn't that one movie about the assassins and the dog guy ritchie or am I thinking of someone else
The "Real Estate Mogul" was running the fucking underworld. The more you talk, the more obvious it is that you never watched it.
Gerard Butler is always plain as fuck and uninteresting, why he ever got so big I don't know
Rocknrolla was so fucking boring
Yeah mate, everyone is to big a star to be in this. But hopefully Gerard Butler and Idris Elba take the pay cut to be in the sequel. We got Trainspotting 2 so there is hope.
the best guy ritchie kino is layer cake and he didn't even have anything to do with it
youtube.com
Layer Cake has aged very well.
like a fine wine, but it seems like most people forget it exists. it seemed to get talked up a lot more back when craig was just starting off as bond.
>give fair reason for my opinion which you disagree with
>'You haven't watched it'
That's a new one, God this place gets fucking thicker by the day.
>trying too hard to be funny, stylistic, and cool.
This is Guy Ritchie all over. I loved Snatch and Lock Stock when I was a teenager, but looking back they're totally inauthentic attempts to emulate American 90s filmmakers like Tarantino, Scorcese and PSH with a cockney skin, and trying way too hard. The Gentlemen is straight up embarrassing, it's like Guy Ritchie emulating earlier guy ritchie in the same way.
Having said all that I will now recommend some proper stylish brit crimekino:
>Get Carter
>Villain (1971)
>The Long Good Friday
>Harry Brown
>Sexy Beast
Honestly Sherlock Holmes fit Ritchie's style best. Aladdin wasn't as good, but it was better than The Gentlemen.
His style fits epic family-friendly adventures, but he still wants to be le gangster man
Guy Ritchie penned the script years ago, I think it's pretty clear he doesn't want to do it. That or the studio won't fund it, as you say there are a lot of big names and it didn't make a killing. I feel bad for Toby Kebbell desu, it was pretty much his only big leading role and every minor character went on to do much better than him. He probably thought it was the start of his A list career
'new white collar London' describes The Gentlemen much better than RocknRolla.
those are all kino except
>>Villain (1971)
burton was ridiculously miscast. he's far too posh to play a gangster. for my money pic related is wildly underrated.
also
>the business (2005)
>the hit (1984)
both about british criminals in spain
You're right his Welsh/cockney accent was all over the place, but I thought he was genuinely sinister. Thanks for the recs I'll check those out
The only one they'd struggle to get back is Hardy to be honest.
Pretty fucking based list to be t.b.h.
Snatch>Lock, Stock>The Gentlemen>>>Rocknrolla
Rocknrolla was just awful.
i will say what i enjoyed most from villain was seeing baby, damn near unrecognizable, ian mcshane. another good one with him from back in the day is sitting target with olly reed (helluva tagline on the poster).
