I used to live a mile away from Stoke Park golf club where the scenes with Jimmy and at the end were filmed. It was also were Goldfinger golf scenes were filmed and numerous other UK films. Great place and me and the missus had a lovely lunch there. I tried to tell the matrodiee , "A little privacy, Angleo" and he looked right through me. He had not seen Layercake, obviously!

@@chrissiereacts Just in case any "complete muppetts" come on here doubting me, and to show off a bit", I lived in a village called "Iver Village". 2 miles west of Uxbridge! If you find that village then look on a map and go 2 miles north / north - west you will find Stoke Park golf club. You will also find Pinewood Studios, 1 mile north west of Iver Village where numerous films (Aliens and 1000 more films) were filmed. We also went to Black Park with our toddler which is also slam bang in-between Stoke Park and Pinewood Studios. Coincidence....nah! Just where we lived and take that mo-fo's!

I love how effortlessly slick Layer Cake is. The rise n fall of the lovable rouge… the antihero… a chancer… the very epitome of the British soul. I always felt that “The Gentleman” borrowed heavily from Craig’s character in the form of matthew mcconaughey. Actually… it’s kind of a part two if Craig hadn’t been killed off. Glorious movie. Glad you enjoyed this tasty morsel 😊

I watched this in 2005 for the first time. The cafe scene with Morty relentlessly beating Freddie was so unexpected. It seemed so random that Morty, always calm, would just SNAP on someone for no reason, and then you hear why, and think "Oh, yeah. That would explain it".

Another great choice, can't believe more people don't know about this one. Guy Ritchie's producer Matthew Vaughan stepped up to direct this one and almost out-Guy-Ritchie'd Guy Ritchie! I've mentioned "Sexy Beast" before but the more I see from you, the more I think it'd be right up your alley :)

Matt Vaughn's directorial trajectory has been a wild one. Here he starts as a knock-off Guy Ritchie (albeit an excellent one), whom he produced many movies for. Then he tries some studio pictures (Stardust, Kick-Ass, X-men) before coming back to this more familiar GR-esque style with his more recent movies like Kingsmen.

Absolutely stacked cast, the old school of British cinema with the all the up & comers it’s like a passing of the torch. Craig’s performance landed him Bond, Sally Hawkins Oscar nominated multi bafta, Tom Hardy, Ben Whishaw. It’s a brilliant film

I've always thought that the shower scene after the murder, and the fact Sienna Miller is in black stockings and suspenders, are references to The Long Good Friday and Get Carter. Therefore I wasn't expecting a happy ending. Did you spot that the lad who shot him at the end was played by Ben Wishaw. He's Q in Daniel Craig's Bond films and also the voice of Paddington.

That's unrealistic but it does allow the reveal of the pill *juggernaut* they're running. A million E's would be manufactured in that production in no time at all. The police seizing and destroying the pills are a footnote to the Serbian boss, so he writes them off and accepts the Duke's head.

'Layer Cake' is a really, if you'll excuse the pun, layered film. Every character gets their moment in the sun. Those are the best movies, where no one's a stock character. Not as big or twisty, but 'Heist' and 'The Score' are a couple of good crime films. Anything Guy Ritchie. And you could do worse than 'Zodiac', that's for sure.
