Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 1998
I don't think I can express enough how much this movie changed the course of my film preferences after its release. I became a fan of the writers, directors and actors immediately. Most everyone involved in the film went on to become involved in several films that I really like afterwards.
Guy Ritchie (Writer / Director)
later directed:
Snatch <3 <3 <3

Rock and Rolla
Sherlock Holmes
Matthew Vaughn (Writer/ Producer/ Director)
Later:

Vinnie Jones
X-Men
Gone in 60 Seconds
Mean Machine
Steven Macintosh and Dexter Fletcher already had booming careers before Lock Stock... but they are still awesome to say the least!
If you haven't seen the flick... I highly recommend it. I am wicked glad I saw it when it came out. I'm also jealous of my friends (yeah you guys) that get to see a lot of these great movies first. Most of our American Hollywood movies are overkill and don't have the same charm.
