Recommendations for British crime films

[Dingo Bingo]

I've seen a most of the older ones, but not much from the 50's and 60's, or anything of the last 10 - 15 years.
Can anyone suggest any? Even if they were between the 70's and 2000, I may not have seen them, so anything really.

Long good Friday, Get Carter, Mona Lisa, though I imagine you've seen them.

Get Carter and The Long Good Friday are the two that spring to mind for me too.

The Italian Job is good fun, but it's a comedy, really.

Stormy Monday is a movie I seldom hear talked about, but which imo is under-rated.

Like Get Carter, it's set in Newcastle.

Lock, Stock, conversely, is overrated in my book.

Cape Fear (both the original and the remake)

Fatal Attraction

Jagged Edge

Oceans Eleven (the remake) is a slick movie. (The subsequent ones disappoint.)

Entrapment (Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones) is also slick and the latter helps you forget that the former is in it.

And, of course, The Sting if it qualifies as a crime movie.

Long Good Friday. I've looked at the breif description online and I don't recall ever seeing it, but the title seems so familiar, I thought I had. Will check it out, as you both mention it, so assume I'm in for a real treat if going in fresh.
Pretty sure I've seen Mona Lisa (Hooker/ex con?) and have seen the others mentioned except Stormy Monday, so will give that one a veiwing over the next week or so too. Thanks.
Reckon I could recite Get Carter and The Italian Job almost verbatim. Next screening for those will be post 2030.

If any others come to mind, please post them.

Not seen Jagged Edge either. Thanks.

I thought he wanted British crime films?

I've other suggestions if the net is being widened.

 

[Dingo Bingo]

I would like British ones, Ian, you're correct.

Here's some I have that spring to mind....

A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (AKA The Biggest Bank Robbery).
Layer Cake
Gangster No1
The Bank Job (2008)

Good chance you've seen it but how about "Let him have it"

Just remembered - there's also one of my favourite films "Witness for the prosecution" ***

"The Arsenal Stadium mystery"


*** I absolutely love courtroom dramas but whilst I watched My Cousin Vinny the other night (for the umpteenth time) it unfortunately can't be recommended on this thread.

The lady vanishes 1939

Absolute classic

 

[Dingo Bingo]

Let him have it
The Arsenal Stadium mystery
The lady vanishes 1939

Another three I've not seen. I'm going to be having quite a session.

Think I'll start with The Lady Vanishes tommorow afternoon.

Thanks.

BBC4 is currently re-showing Agatha Christie's Miss Marple stories from the 1980s with that fine actress Joan Hickson in the title role. All available on iPlayer

Ripping yarns they are, if a bit the past is another country, they do things differently there if viewed through today's jaded eyes

The Offence. British crime thriller made in 1973. Ian Bannen, Trevor Howard, + Sean Connery. Connery gives a great performance as a washed up detective with violent tendencies. Haven't seen this in years, but I remember being very impressed.
