    My top from best to worst:

    Rock N Rolla
    Snatch
    Lock, Stock
    Sherlock Holmes 1
    Sherlock Holmes 2
    Revolver

    I've never seen Swept Away, but that nearly killed his career, which is why Revolver is so muddled. He was rusty at that point.

    I think Swept Away should be number one. Madonna is my favorite singer of all time and the movie was amazing and had a heartbreaking storyline. Just because others hate Madonna doesn't mean everyone does. I love her and this movie is one of her best out there.

    I remember reading he was originally trying to make Revolver heavy with Kaballah ideas but the studio balked. Swept Away started out OK, then it just went haywire.

    I think the Holmes movies are his best by a wide margin.

    The movie is atrocious.

    I'm one of those people who really enjoyed Revolver. In fact I liked it far better than Rock N Rolla, Snatch, Lock Stock, and the two Sherlock Holmes movies......so.....yeah....I just like the overall message or Revolver.

    I enjoy Revolver as well, and ENJOY it more than other films i'd rate higher than it, but I can admit it has its faults over the runtime.

    It's a fun, interesting, complex film, but it's not necessarily a GOOD one.

    I love Rock N Rolla, that movie cracks me up, that part in the train yard with Gerald Butler is hillarious. Snatch would have to be my second favorite, followed by Lock Stock. I could care less about the Sherlock movies, not enough detective stuff in those. I still haven't seen Revolver

    For now, worst to first (edit: lol, list is backwards);

    RocknRolla
    Lock Stock
    Snatch
    Sherlock1

    Will probably never watch Swept Away, still have yet to see Revolver and Sherlock 2--Revolver's up next in my rental queue but according to Netflix, they won't have Sherlock 2 in until August. Recently rented RocknRolla... was very pleasantly surprised. I think it might be my fav Guy flick. It's been a while since I've seen Snatch and Lock Stock, planning to rewatch those two again pretty soon.
