You might be interested in The Krays (1990), too. I didn't like it, but I thought I'd mention it just the same. Also, I've never seen Brighton Rock (1947), but I've heard good things about it. I've never heard of The Krays or Performance so I'll check those out. The rest of your suggestions have obviously not been released on laserdisc!

I posted without fully comprehending that only British gangster films on LaserDisc were wanted. If you have a DVD player, the others are worth checking out. *EDIT* Actually, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Limey are also on LaserDisc. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) [ID5965PG]Limey, The (1999) [PILF-2866]

The Krays (1990) is excellent, and was based on actual scumbags. Of course I didn't like what happened to the woman one of the Krays married. That was depressing, even more so because it actually happened. STAY AWESOME!
