Summary of Major Works

Guy Ritchie has made movies starting as far as 1995. When considering his major works, however, 1998 was the year he had his first big hit. "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" debuted in 1998. It was received with applause from film makers and watchers alike in Britain, it eventually went on to become the third highest grossing film in British history. Amazingly, after 10 distributors turned the film down, Tom Cruise rescued it and got Columbia TriStar to distribute it. Guy's next film,"Snatch," was released in 2000. The movie was given mixed grades by critics, some said it was just a continuation of his last film,"Lock,Stock," and some thought it was just vintage Guy Ritchie flair. After Guy's marriage to Madonna in 2000, they worked on a remake of the '70's film "Swept Away." The film, although a major work in his career, was a complete disaster, that was liked by very few. Ritchie attempted to reclaim his luster with the 2007 release of "Revolver," but unfortunately, it fared only slightly better than "Swept Away." In 2008, Ritchie found his magic from his first two successes, when he released " RocknRolla," which was a signature return to his "stylish crime comedies(YahooMovies)." His most recent movie, "Sherlock Holmes," came out in 2010, and is currently a very well received adaptation of the classic novel.
