3 excellent films to enjoy

Layer Cake is a more serious/sinister film in the vein of Snatch/Lock Stock.
Lots of different characters, all after one thing.. money.. and the film shows how their paths cross.
I feel it is not as good as the others as it is too serious, and therefore not as enjoyable/entertaining to watch.. when you realise there are such nasty people in the world.
But still excellent entertainment.
.
Following on from the success of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is Snatch.
It follows in a similar vein, multi character profiles, which eventually all intertwine. Jason Statham reprises his role (but different character) as a London geezer.. and this film went upmarket slightly by using Brad Pitt in a supporting role. He plays a Traveller (best, most true to life portrayal I have ever seen) who is a champion fighter.
The through running story is about a stolen diamond, that everyone wants to get their hands on.
I still struggle to choose which of these two films I prefer.
.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is the film that started it all off, and just one of those films that you can watch again and again.
I never cease to marvel at the way the different characters lives all eventually intertwine.
It is richly filmed, and is obviously British in its manner.. showing Londons seedier, but cheekier side.
Absolutely brilliant.. with more turns than a roller coaster at the end..
