Snatch

I loved this movie! It was written and directed by Guy Ritchie. He also did one called "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I haven't seen that one, but it git good reviews. Anyway, this one was great! I noticed that this one was also in the top 250 over on the Internet Movie Database. Anyway, here's a synopsis from the IMDB:

Turkish and his rather strange accomplice Tommy get pulled into the world of match fixing by the notorious Brick Top. Things get complicated when the boxer they had lined up gets the shit kicked out of him by Pitt, a 'pike' as they call him. They then try to convince Pitt not only to fight for them, but to lose for them too. Whilst all this is going on, a huge diamond heist takes place, and a fistful of motley characters enter the story, including 'Cousin Avi', 'Boris The Blade', 'Franky Four Fingers' and 'Bullet Tooth Tony'. Things go from bad to worse as it all becomes about the money, the guns, and the damned dog!
