Stormy Monday (1988)
The Krays (1990)

...I'm 23,but a film enthusiast. I love the aesthetic of early nineties culture (with benefit of hindsight) in regards to film and magazines and so on. I love gangster films/crime films, and I love Tarantinos 90s films, and Guy Ritchie had a few films that were on an english par with tarantino. But how about before those 2 directors. Were there any great British gangster/crime films before ritchie and after 'the long good friday'?
..all I've gathered so far from extremely brief research is that Hanif Kureishi made a couple of films in the early nineties which were crime related such as "London kills me'.
anyone have any suggestions, thoughts?????

There are a lot more from earlier than that

I was thinking maybe 80s to mid nineties, or essentially sort of 86-94/97.
mainly looking for ganster/crime/heist/noir films.
McVICAR was good....

MCVICAR�Director Tom Clegg�
Cast Inc�
My good friend Tom Clegg phoned me up and ask me to do a couple of weeks on this film as a convict (Con) and could I add lib throughout as there were no words written for me.. (No problem)
On the first day I had a scene with Adam Faith and Tom ask me to add some words.
We did a take and Tom said it wasn�t STRONG enough and wanted me to add some swear words. (Strong language on film in those days wasn�t the norm).
Anyway we were supposed to be violent men and it sounds better if you say, ��Come out of the f***ing way�� rather than ��Excuse me please��.
The film was based on the true story of John McVicar (Co writer) who at one time was branded public enemy No 1.
He was the only man to escape from that prison at that time.
My old mate Brian Hall played Stokes and was excellent, as were the rest of the cast.
In 1959 I was playing guitar with a band called ��TERRY YOUNG AND THE TEENS�� and we auditioned for a guy named Jack Good and at the same venue was a young blond boy called Adam Faith. (Say no more)
Roger Daltrey was very good as the lead actor on this well directed film.
Thanks everyone it was fun�
Aitch
