I've been through an annual exploration of British classics and I'm glad you included The Long Good Friday, Brighton Rock and the obligatory Michael Caine films. If I had one criticism though it would be in the ranking of these films, of course Guy Ritchie is the Tarantino of British cinema and perhaps the one who'd win the poll but it wouldn't be fair to the directors who preceded him to have two Ritchie films topping the list.
The way I'd see it, I would use that ranking:
The Long Good Friday (THE consummate British gangster film, even Watchmojo put it in #1 position)
Brighton Rock (the seminal British gangster noir)
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (because there's got to be a Ritchie)
The Italian Job or Get Carter (to have a Michael Caine one)

One of my favorite movie sub-genres, lots of favorite to choose from. I can't believe Gangster No. 1 and Layer Cake have no votes at this point.
