It just came out of nowhere and was so brutal and horrific. Again for 1974. TCM predated Halloween, Dawn of the Dead, and Friday the 13th by at least 4 years.

Saw the film Snatch for the fist time tonight. It was fun revisiting the directorial tropes and memes of late-90s cinema. The quick action cuts marked by isolated sound effects, the wonky cinematography, the comically-absurd plot, and the characters who were each dramatic characatures of themselves... it was silly but entertaining just the same. I see a lot of similarities between Guy Ritchie, Edgar Wright, and Quentin Tarantino but perhaps it was just a running trend of the decade.
Enjoyed the equally-bizarre soundtrack as well, especially "Mad Flute."

Check out Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Extremely similar to Snatch but still classic Ritchie.

Also my favourite of the two, as hard as it is to compare high grade diamonds.

Agreed. Snatch is a bit too over the top at times. The convoluted plot of LSATSB is much more brilliant IMO.

I don't mind them, but House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects are where it's at for Rob Zombie films.
