Does anyone know any good british gangster movies, other than Get Carter and Guy Ritchie's films?

Essex Boys.
Rise Of The Foot Soldier
The Krays
The Business
Gangster No1
The Take(Martina Coles Sky 1 series, stars Tom Hardy)
Sexy Beast
Layer Cake
Top Boy(Channel 4 tv series on Hackney drug dealers)

EDIT: Whoops noticed you mentioned good films, some of these are questionable but worth a watch i guess. The Take is one of my favorites.

The TOP BOY TV series is absolutely brilliant. A bit like a British THE WIRE.

Not quite sure they are in the gangster genre but Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are very good British crime films..

I really enjoyed the Top Boy series also, thought the acting was pretty good.

Although i read there is going to be no series 3, which is a big disappointment considering it was planned out to be 3 series.

"The Krays" and "The Long Good Friday" were very good.
