Finished The Gentlemen? Here Are 10 Best Guy Ritchie Movies to Watch Next

The Gentlemen is steeped in the spirit of the Guy Ritchie style – there are witty dialogues, eccentric villains and lots of tense situations. It's hard not to binge this series in a couple of nights, and if you did, but your dose of crime action wasn't enough, then these ten Guy Ritchie films are just for you.

1. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, 1998

Guy Ritchie's first feature film and an instant success. Prior to this project, he had successfully shot video clips, but fortunately for everyone, decided to try himself in a different role. Now Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels takes pride of place in the list of cult films of the last century.

Four friends, Eddie, Soap, Fat Tom and Bacon, always looking for adventure, become debtors of the dangerous criminal Harry Lonsdale, nicknamed Hatchet. They hoped to hit the jackpot in a card game, but Harry cheated, and now the friends must find 500 thousand pounds in one week.

2. Revolver, 2005

In 2005, Ritchie made Revolver with Jason Statham in the main role, but something went wrong. The movie failed at the box office and critics bombarded the director with negative reviews, which did not prevent the movie from winning the love of the audience.

Jake Green, who covered up for the mobster he worked for, served seven years in solitary confinement. There he read a lot of books, learned the basics of chess and came up with a unique formula for winning in any gambling game.

After many victories, Jake decides to take the money from the mobster's casino, but after recognizing Green, he is not willing to let him leave with the money.

3. Sherlock Holmes, 2009

To diversify his criminal portfolio, Ritchie decided to turn to literature. The director's choice is Arthur Conan Doyle's cult works about Sherlock Holmes, which had already been filmed dozens of times before.

But Guy Ritchie would not be himself if he did not add his own recognizable style to this well-known work. The director borrowed the main characters and some details from Conan Doyle's books, but created the main plot of the movie himself. And cast the dream duo of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in the lead roles.

4. RocknRolla, 2008

RocknRolla was received better than Revolver, but reviews were still mixed. Among fans of the director's work, this movie is considered to be one of his best. RocknRolla may not break any new ground, but like Ritchie's early films, it's full of adrenaline and clever plot twists. Originally, the British director planned to make a trilogy, of which RocknRolla was supposed to be the first part, but that never happened.

Crime boss Lenny makes a deal with Russian oligarch Omovich: in exchange for seven million pounds, he gives him permission to build a stadium. As a guarantee for the deal, Omovich temporarily gives Lenny his favorite valuable painting, but this painting is soon stolen.

5. Snatch, 2000

After the commercial success of his debut film, Guy Ritchie immediately moved on to his second film. Snatch, starring Brad Pitt, received excellent reviews and won a number of prestigious awards. Snatch is always at the top of not only Ritchie's best works, but also all sorts of lists of the best crime movies.

Franky has to send his boss Avi from New York a very valuable diamond that he has stolen in Belgium. To get from Europe to the US, the diamond must first pass through London, where all the trouble begins. Other criminals find out about the diamond and want it for themselves.

6. Wrath of Man, 2021

In 2021, Ritchie released the English version of the French film Cash Truck. The director invited his favorite Jason Statham to star. This is an old-school action movie, but with several unexpected plot twists and numerous references to the Bible.

Patrick comes to get a job at an armored car company. Statham's character is given the nickname H, since all armored truck guards have nicknames. But with his arrival, armored car robberies became more common in the city.

7. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, 2017

In 2017, Richie turned his gaze in a completely unexpected direction–- English mythology. Initially, it was planned that this film would mark the beginning of a great hexalogy, but after seeing the box office, Warner Bros. abandoned the idea. Nevertheless, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, starring Charlie Hunnam, occupies a special place in Ritchie's filmography.

Arthur did not grow up in a palace, as the legends say. According to Guy Ritchie, he disappeared for many years as a result of a coup d'état orchestrated by his uncle. After growing up, Arthur finds himself next to a castle where a mysterious sword is discovered that no one can pull out.

8. Aladdin, 2019

In 2019, Guy Ritchie received a tempting offer from Disney to remake the cult 1992 Aladdin in a live-action remake format. By that time, the studio bosses had already tested various options for transferring their legendary animations to live-action and decided that Ritchie could do something interesting with the most famous thief of Agrabah.

The opinions of viewers and critics about the adaptation were split down the middle. One of the points of discussion was the choice of Will Smith to play Genie, although many note that he is the best thing in this project.

9. The Man from U.N.C.L.E., 2015

After the success of Sherlock Holmes, Ritchie decided to move on to another era and setting, so he began a feature-length remake of the 60's series, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The project underwent many changes: the lead roles were supposed to be played by George Clooney and Tom Cruise, and Steven Soderbergh was named director. In the end, Ritchie directed the movie, and Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer played the roles of the agents.

The Cold War with the USSR is in full swing, but the two warring sides must find a common language for the sake of the cause. CIA Agent Napoleon Solo and KGB Agent Illya Kuryakin must work together to stop an organization that wants to increase the number of nuclear weapons in the world.

10. Guy Ritchie's the Covenant, 2023

Almost every new Guy Ritchie movie gets the title of the most atypical for the director, but The Covenant really is. This is the director's first war drama with a life-affirming message. In it Ritchie discusses serious topics, raises questions of honor, and talks about humanity and obligations.

The movie about the strength of fellowship between an American sergeant and an Afghan translator definitely occupies a special place in the director's filmography. Jake Gyllenhaal, working with Ritchie for the first time, is wonderful as always, but it is the acting of his colleague Dar Salim that deserves the highest praise.
