1. Snatch (2000)
This action-packed drama set in London, and directed by Guy Ritchie, follows an assortment of characters connected to each other by way of a diamond heist. The story's primary characters, Mickey [Brad Pitt] and Turkish [Jason Statham] carry much of the plot, with much of the "shucking and jiving" being offered by the other colorful characters. An indestructible Russian with a thing for knives and cheating, a trio of clumsy two-bit hustlers, and a man with four-fingers and briefcase [Benicio Del Toro] complete the hilarious ensemble cast. The accents are strong, and the action is quick, with multiple story lines setting the pace.
