Ooh, I think I saw that. Very good IIRC.

Not yet, but I want to.
I've seen Chappers, if that counts, though? Well, his avatar.

It's very good.
"The Opposite of Sex" is very good too. I got it for a pound from Poundland the other week.
'The Philadelphia Experiment' and 'The Jokers'. Two of my favourites.
Somer's Town. Shane Meadows and Turgoose again.
Pulp. Starring Michael Caine and Mickey Rooney.
Meantime - Mike Leigh.
Do watch this if you've never seen it. One of the great "lost" films of the 70s, starring Robert Blake (in his pre-wife murdering days). Dark, brooding, funny, satirical. Brilliantly written, shot and directed. Rarely gets an outing on TV thesedays, though when it does it always seems to be shown on ITV late at night. Really worth seeking out.

Very good. As is Leigh's High Hopes with Phil Davis, Ruth Sheen, Edna Dore, Philip Jackson, David Bamber and Lesley Manville. Very funny comment on the 1980s (if occasionally a little stereotyped). (Certainly better than the much-lauded Riff Raff - which is crap IMO.)
I have an ambiguous attitude to Ken Loach.

The Man Who Would Be King - a rather forgotten, superior historical romp, starring Caine and Sean Connery. Great fun.

Beyond Kes and some of his TV films, I really don't have much time for his work.
I'm not saying they're not good. I just don't enjoy Ken Loach films. Grim as f**k. British cinema really drags for me, during a KL film.
