King of New York is a good gangster flick. State of Grace is quality aswell.

I`ve just seen a 1950`s Peter Sellars film `Never Let Go` (going cheap from DVDSoon) which gave an intriguing portrayal of a bit of the London underworld. Richard Todd and Adam faith are in it too. Well worth the £3 I paid for it.

Personally I wouldn`t give the last 2 on your list shelf space, but I would heartily recommend `Get Carter` also (Caine of course, not the insulting remake). `Brighton Rock` follows a similar vein of emphasising more the menace than the violence which I find more interesting. See the version with the correct ending though.
