Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is one of the best comedies ever made

And Guy Ritchie is some sort of master filmmaker. His Snatch doesn't reach the heights of his first. It's too uneven for that. But it's still a great achievement, a masterclass of style.

His handling of comedy is unreal. It reminds me of the Coens (Lebowski, Raising Arizona), or of what the Farrelly's used to do in their earliest movies, in terms of shooting every scene, every line, as if it were the punchline to a long-ass joke.

I would love to see him do a romantic comedy, or a road trip/adventure comedy movie.
