This movie is a bit mainstream, but I know too many people who haven't seen it yet.-
It's Guy Ritchie's best film, I think. A crime thriller/comedy masterpiece from 2000, Snatch.
-
Basically, this is about a guy trying to fence a huge diamond in London after a heist. But everyone and their dog, it seems, is after the diamond.
-
It's hard to explain any more than that. There are too many stories overlapped and intertwined. And Ritchie does an amazing job mixing them all in seamlessly.
-
This movie is packed full of violence and harsh language. So if you're easily upset you'll want to skip this one.
-
But it's also packed with humor (often dark) and great characters.
-
Brad Pitt has an amazing role as a pikey (english gypsy), who has an accent so odd it's hard to understand. The DVD has a "pikey translator" that gives subtitles every time he talks. But it's much more fun to watch it without, gradually you pick up more and more of what he's saying.

I love this movie. And it stands up well to repeated viewings.
