Guy Ritchie (born 1968) is a British film director and screenwriter, also known for his former marriage to {{Madonna}}.

His first film, ''LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'' was a low-budget, humorous crime caper about the London underworld. It was an indie success and critical darling for its fresh, vibrant style. He followed up with ''{{Snatch}}'', which was an even bigger success, though some critics complained that he was rehashing his previous film too much. Next, he made ''Swept Away'', a remake of a controversial 1970s Italian film, starring his then-wife Madonna. ''Swept Away'' was savaged by critics, and bombed at the box office. When he returned to familiar territory with the crime caper ''{{Revolver}}'', he tried to mix things up with an EvilPlan and an {{Anvilicious}} {{Aesop}}. The film was so poorly received that it didn't even see wide release in America. Ritchie then made ''RockNRolla'' in an obvious attempt to recapture the violent and irreverent underworld hijinks of his first two films. It was recieved better than ''Revolver'', but wasn't really a success. He seemed to be approaching the nadir, but his adaptation of ''Film/SherlockHolmes'' appears to have [[CareerResurrection revived his fortunes]]; it received mostly positive reviews, and was successful at the box office, grossing more than all of his previous films combined. He also produced the TV series ''Series/{{SWAG}}''.
