1. Cousin Avi Snatch (2000)
Guy Ritchies second (and best) film follows intertwining characters involved in diamond heist and a fixed boxing match. Snatch is a great film and its genuinely packed with funny and interesting characters. Given the great roaster of characters, its a credit to Farina that his character stands out as one of the greats. Farina plays, Cousin Avi, a Jewish jeweller who orchestrates a diamond heist from Antwerp to London. When things go wrong and the 86-carat diamond goes missing in London, Avi is forced to travel over. Hes on form as the fish out of water character and delivers the put downs in the unique Farina manner. Cousin Avi is a classic Farina character, loud mouthed and angry at the world. As the film progresses, he delves further into Londons underbelly and mishap after mishap. Farina is pure entertainment to watch as the character becomes even further frustrated in a country he doesnt understand and doesnt like. Shut up and sit down, you big, bald f**k. I don't like leaving my own country, Doug, and I especially don't like leaving it for anything less than warm sandy beaches, and cocktails with little straw hats. Classic Farina at his best. He will be sadly missed. Did you have a favourite Farina character or moment in film? Then let us know in the comments section below.
