The Take

Bronson and Legend both starring Tom Hardy are amazing. Peaky Blinders is a great TV show as well.

I have yet to watch Peaky Blinders.

Snatch is outstanding.

You really need to watch this.

Not sure if it qualifies as a gangster flick but “Harry Brown” with Michael Caine is a good British movie. Retired British Marine becomes vigilante.

I liked London Boulevard as well.

Blitz with Jason Statham is also good....renegade British cop

Also, The Sweeney is another good one

I haven't seen The Sweeny movie, but I have watched the old TV series...I should watch the movie if for no other reason than it stars Ray Winstone, one of the absolute best actors working today.

Is "The Blitz" the movie where Staham whacks knuckle heads w/ a cricket bat?

That’s the one!

Another TV series I really liked is "Spotless"

Layer Cake (2004)

Daniel Craig before his Bond days and Sienna Miller for eye candy (meow!).

While this one is actually an Australian Gangster flick, it certainly belongs here.

Animal Kingdom.....Awesome dark family crime flick about a family of thugs led by the Grandmother....Jackie Weaver is phenomenal in this!

The American series on TNT, which is based on this movie, is also excellent with Ellen Barkin taking on the role of the Grandmother (Jackie Weaver's role).
