Watched Green Street not to long ago also, Eijah Woods character was merely a point of entry for the viewer, nothing more! Plenty of quotes from it all the same!

Also watched Snatch too, in my opinion the ultimate brit cockney gangster film, good story, funny and gypsy fighting! The other half couldn't see the appeal though! Even Vinnie Jones impressed!

I don't care what some people say about Snatch it is an absolute classic film. The one liners are great, the storyline is great, the characters are great. It's never going to win too many awards but it's just an all round entertaining film!

Snatch is great, also loved Lock Stock too.

Never mind Green Street. The ultimate hooligan movie is ID. Stars Billy Mitchell.

This is true - great show. I'll have to watch it again though, was sure Robert Carlyle had starred but wiki told me otherwise

yeah, agree about snatch. Great entertainment, some great dialogue and a reasonably original storyline for that type of film

+1. Brilliant.  Probably my favourite film.  Brad Pitt is outstanding in it.

Well said Johnny, all that man is interested in is Tits and Tractors (and Curry Chips).

Saw "The Drop" at the weekend.  Gandlofini's last film.  Excellent stuff.

2 films on telly this weekend worth watching imo

Kill List on Ch 4 Sat night 11.15pm. A headwrecker of a flick . Have selfish reasons for recommending it as I am curious as to how others think of it. Very odd.

First thing, no 2nd thing I said after watching Kill List is I feel sorry for the person who came up with that ending. First thing I said was obviously "WTF". The Nordie boy was on some show on UTV /BBC show lately cycling around the north chatting to locals. I was waiting for him to start stabbing some auld wan.

Seen a French film once call Irreversible, Kill List is up there with it as being the most fcuked up film I've seen.

Banged to rights and you two are a perfect pair of tits.

Any film with a dodgy Irish accent goes straight to the bin.

Anyone sat through Irving Welshes 'Filth' last night, rare show to say the least, but not unexpected as I'd read his book 'Acid House' years ago.

Strangely intriguing was how I'd put it.

Saw Fury last night.

Very Saving Private Ryanesque.  Horrifying combat scenes. A little island of domestic normality halfway through suddenly gets very tense. The biblical theme is laid on a bit thick, but still a good show, if a little far fetched towards the end.

Can't say too much without spoiling it.
