Shane Meadows Appreciation Thread (1 Viewer)

Just watched This Is England last night. Excellent film about skinheads in the 80's. Some amazing performances, notably Thomas Thurgoose and Stephen Graham. Thought Dead Mans Shoes was fantastic as was A Room for Romeo Brass. Been yonks since i saw 24 but i remember loving it. Once Upon A Time In The Midlands didn't impress me that much but maybe i need to watch it again. Anyways, Shane Meadows is deadly, one of the best directors in the Uk fo sho. Check out his films if ya havent already.

I can't think of a better English director.
Have you seen Smalltime or Where's The Money, Ronnie?
Both pre-24/7. Where's The Money, Ronnie? is only about 10 minutes, is memory serves and Smalltime is about an hour. Both are great.

So glad he's back on track after ......Midlands.
There's a great little documentary on Dead Mans Shoes where he tells a story that was an influence on him for This is England.

Can't wait to see that movie.

haven't seen either of them, where did ya get them? they in laser? yeah that story he tells on the DMS extras was pretty fucked up, this is england definitly captures the mood of that story

Watched the two of them for the first time recently. Channel 4 showed them one after the other around 1998.

That dance that Paddy Considine does in A Room for Romeo Brass has to be seen to be believed.

Incredible film-maker.
Can't wait for THIS IS ENGLAND.

I also would like to avail of this as I cannot find the tatty old VHS I had them both on.

 

[smallbrownbear]

aye, that air of menace in his films....particularly romeo brass....
fantastic film maker
haven't seen 'this is england' yet
when's it out

 

[Nate Champion]

'This is England' out 27th April.

Love all of his films, except Once Upon a time in the Midlands, which is a right stinker. I walked out of the cinema lopsided after Dead man's shoes.


Mark Kermode went up to Nottingham to interview Meadows for the Culture Show. I'm all excited just from the clips shown.

He was deadly in that. The lad who plays Paddy's brother in Dead Man's Shoes plays the same person (Rob Gretton)in Control.

Paddy's deadly in whatever he's in.

 

[pissypants]

so fucking scary

 

[Jerry Twig]

One of the greats. Pity about Once a Time in the Midlands.
