Yeah I loved it. It's different from Meadows usual cause there's no real dark turn, but it's a nice way to spend an hour and a half

Couple of obvious ones missed out so far, no introductions needed...


and


and while on the subject, Jabberwocky


and the Time Bandits


Not a comedy, but it is to all of our shame that this one hasn't been mentioned yet. Best British film of them all, Zulu

also could talk about his boxing move 24 7 - with the excellent Bob Hoskins in it. Better than Raging Bull IMHO - but then i am obsessed about Meadows

This Is England



A Room For Romeo Brass



Somers Town



All Shane Meadows movies

fantastic choices there Jebus. Meadows has to be up there with the top british writer/directors.

ill add in another meadows film - Paddy Considine is just brilliant in it. Seriously underrated actor.

Dead Man's Shoes

Yeah a big Meadows fan m too. Was reading somewhere recently that he is planning to do a TV series follow up to This is England. Meant to a be based four years after the film (1986) as Shaun is leaving school.

Boy A is a good movie.

Another one that is a good few years old now, Cant remember the name of it but its where Rhys Ifans, the welsh actor plays a wino who gets accused of kidnapping a little girl and is jailed for it even though he is innocent.

Can anyone help me?

I'm looking for a fairly recent English film but can't for the life of me think of the title. It's about a black kid that gets adopted by a middle-class white English family and as he grows older he gets involved in a gang or a football firm. At least that's what I got from the trailer.

Cass?

That's the one, thanks.

Another English film I really like is Bronson, mainly for Tom Hardy's performance. As a film, it's a bit disjointed and non-linear.
