Been rewatching some movies I only saw one or two times.
Mainly British gangster/comedy stuff. Always had a certain appreciation for it hence the high ratings.

Human Traffic (1999)
A
More than decent and fun view on the late 90's rave/club/drug culture in Wales. If you're familiar with the subject you notice that it's a realistic and near perfect reflection of those times.

Oh, yeah. I nearly laughed my ass of when I noticed Rick from TWD ordering a pint, later on fucked up on speed/xtc and trying to get some tokes from a joint. If you're not interested in seeing the movie, here are his scenes

Layer Cake (2004)
A/B
I think I enjoyed it more than before. Similar to Snatch en RocknRolla but with less humour.
Kinda fun to see Tom Hardy when he still had a babyface.
The Game Of Thrones' Night's Watch traitor, who's good with knives, had a small part too.

It's All Gone Pete Thong (2004)
A/B
Set in Ibiza, Paul Kaye plays a DJ with an alcohol/drug addiction who goes deaf, spirals out of control and tries to get back on his feet.
I think this movie proves once again what an underrated actor Paul Kaye is.
He's also in Game Of Thrones now as Thoros of Myr, the drunk Red Priest.

RocknRolla (2008)
B+
Liked it more than the first time I saw it.
And what a cast: Gerard Butler, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and other familiar faces.

In Bruges (2008)
A
Brilliant dark comedy with an excellent Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.
If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
