Snatch poster

Movies that feel likeSnatch (2000)

Unscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookies, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers, and supposedly Jewish jewellers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond.

If you loved Snatch, the closest films we have are Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Hera Pheri (2000) and The Big Lebowski (1998). All three share Snatch's gritty and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is A Fish Called Wanda (1988).

Comedy built on grit, twice over

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust.
