Snatch (2000)

Ritchie's absolute masterpiece. A stolen 86-carat diamond, illegal boxing matches, and pig farmers who make bodies disappear: everything collides at a breakneck pace. Brad Pitt shines as the incomprehensible 'pikey' boxer Mickey O'Neil, and Jason Statham as narrator Turkish delivers one legendary one-liner after another.

#2

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

The sensational feature debut that made Ritchie world-famous overnight and launched the film careers of Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones. Four friends lose half a million pounds in a rigged poker game and decide to rob their weed-growing neighbors. An explosive lesson in tight editing and dark humor.

#3

The Gentlemen (2020)

Ritchie gloriously returned to his British gangster roots. Matthew McConaughey plays an American marijuana kingpin in London looking to sell his billion-dollar empire. Hugh Grant shamelessly steals the show as the sleazy tabloid journalist Fletcher, and Colin Farrell shines as a tracksuit-wearing boxing coach.

#4

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Ritchie gave the iconic Victorian detective an energetic jolt by casting Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as bickering, brawling soulmates. With the famous slow-motion fight scenes where Holmes calculates the anatomical damage in advance, Ritchie scored a worldwide mega-hit.

#5

The Covenant (2023)

0

A serious and raw change of course that proved just how mature Ritchie has become. Jake Gyllenhaal plays an American sergeant in Afghanistan who, after an ambush, is dragged to safety across miles of hostile terrain by his interpreter Ahmed (Dar Salim). A gripping and emotional action film about codes of honor.

#6

RocknRolla (2008)

0
0
0

Gerard Butler, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy form The Wild Bunch, a group of petty crooks caught between an old London mob boss (Tom Wilkinson) and a filthy-rich Russian oligarch. A stylish crime puzzle full of rock music and cunning schemes.

#7

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

0
0
0

Pure enjoyment of vintage 1960s glamour. Henry Cavill as a slick CIA spy and Armie Hammer as a hulking KGB agent are forced to team up in Rome to thwart a nuclear bomb plot. Ritchie's most elegant and stylish film.

#8

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

0
0
0

In the more action-packed sequel, Holmes faces off against his ultimate intellectual archenemy: Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris). The cinematic escape through a German forest under artillery fire is a technical tour de force.

#9

Wrath of Man (2021)

0
0
0

Reunited with Jason Statham after sixteen years, Ritchie delivers a merciless, grim revenge thriller. As the silent armored truck guard 'H,' Statham infiltrates a transport company to track down his son's killers. Raw, bloody, and brutal.

#10

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)

0
0
0

Based on recently declassified files about Winston Churchill's secret commando unit during World War II. Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson shoot and hack their way through Nazi ranks with a grin to sabotage German U-boats. Pure pulp entertainment.
