I wouldn't recommend any of those films. I would, however, recommend the following:

Get Carter (I know that LBJ has already said it but it's that good, IMO)
The Long Good Friday (Best British gangster film of all time)
The Krays
Brighton Rock
McVicar
Villain
Sexy Beast
Mona Lisa
Gangster No.1 (I've not seen it, but it's supposed to be pretty good)
Dead Man's Shoes

Not sure if these are right or not, but you might like (some of) them.
Scum
This Is England
The Football Factory
The Rise Of The Footsoldier
Essex Boys
Kidulthood
Adulthood
Outlaw
The Business
High Heels And Low Lifes
Rollin' With The Nines
The Bank



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
I'll name some older ones (they're better, HA!)

Room at the Top
Pygmalion
Kind Hearts and Coronets
Alfie
(1966)
Morgan!
The Lavender Hill Mob
Major Barbara
The Horse's Mouth
Blithe Spirit
Hobson's Choice
The Rocking Horse Winner
The Third Man
The Man in the White Suit
Billy Budd
Last Holiday
(1950)
The Captain's Paradise
The Card/The Promoter



Sorry if these just aren't cool enough, but if you watch them, they become quite addictive.

I would recomend "Cash Back": it's strats off to be something that it surely is not. I found it to be a very good picture and those that I have shown it to agree.



The Long Good Friday is a brilliant film, I have to back up Honeykid on that! I can't think of any you guys haven't covered so Kaizer has a good list there.
Just one to add - Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry , not very well known but we liked it.



cashback was exactly what i was looking for it was awesome. ill check out the others which are also probably great
