Classic,simply classic.I've only recently watched this movie and was astounded.Hoskins has never been better,his acting was I think the base for Tony Soprano,and Helen Mirren was excellent.
I can truly say this is one of the finest British films I ever saw,and I've seen a lot (but I'm not British).
I even preferd this to Get Carter,which is another great film.

This is what a true British Gangster flick is all about, realistic, gritty and thrilling. Mops the floor with all of the 'Lock Stock' type mockney 'gangster' films of the last 10 years

The best thing about this film is Charlie from Casualty...

By far one of the best british movies ever, its up with the Get Carter and Lock Stock, and it has one of the best endings in cinema, and one of the best soundtracks, probably Hoskins best performance of his career.

The Long Good Friday,Get Carter and Brighton Rock are the 3 best Bristish gangster flicks ever made.
Don't even mentioned them in the same breath as that cack Snatch and Lock,Stock.

It's over rated and does not warrant the word classic attached to it.

The script is one of the finest ever made and i picked out the same as Empire did. That end scene is a tremendous piece of acting. I am not a huge fan of british gangster films and i can honestly say that Get Carter wasn't as good as i was expecting but this film was brilliant.
