7. Snatch
Out of Guy Ritchie's gallery of crime films, "Snatch" happens to be my favorite. But like everyone else, he takes from Tarantino's style and sets his film in the underground crime world where the search for a diamond brings together a slew of despicable thugs, criminals, low lives, and rubes. Based mostly in London, the film still manages to squeeze in supporting performances from character actors from around the globe. There's a great supporting performance from Dennis Farina, the one and only Vinnie Jones, and there are a slew of talented actors in the ensemble including Lennie James, Jason Statham, Jason Flemyng, Alan Ford, Benicio Del Toro, and a pretty paltry supporting performance from Brad Pitt who is memorable as Mickey the Gypsy, a brawling momma's boy whose accent is so indecipherable not even the characters in the movie can understand him. Ritchie opts for Tarantinoesque antics and endless monologues and by the end there's that typical twist that Ritchie delivers that's very entertaining but indicative of Tarantino's influence on filmmakers to this day.
