>>I really liked that movie. Odd, but kind of fun. Guy Ritchie, no?

>Yes, Guy Ritchie. It was the first movie that gained him attention in the U.S.

>I have watched it 10 times or more and it still never fails to perk me up. It has terrific visual style, which Ritchie's critics dismiss as an artifact of his background as a music video director. Personally I like the splashy visual shots like the no-nonsense poker dealer dealing cards in an early shot. But there's more to it than that. Every time I watch it the characters reappear as fondly remembered relatives who are part of your extended, occasionally chaotic, family. Vinnie plays a character named Big Chris, an enforcer for a minor London racket boss named Hatchet Harry. The interaction between Big Chris and Little Chris -- "his son and heir" according to the sardonic narrator -- is priceless.

>Here's another movie recommendation I would make to anyone, not just you: "Chungking Express". It has just been rereleased by Criterion.

How about "Snatch" - another ritchie, with V Jones and Brad Pitt as the unintelligible gypsy fist-fighter, and, of course, the ubiquitous Jason Statham. Hilarious.
