Haha I was kidding, he's hardly in it. Was looking for a 'morning angle' gif.

Dead Mans Shoes.

Got to be my favourite low budget film of all time.

It stayed with me for a long time after the first time I watched it, even now I really have to be in the mood to watch it.

Paddy Considine`s finest performance ( imo )

I see your (admittedly great) Dead Man's Shoes, sir, and raise you another outstanding Considine-Meadows film in the form of A Room for Romeo Brass:

Just saw 1917. That's one heck of a movie.

The Shock Doctrine.
Featuring the disgraceful rs (McDermott, Thompson, Hughes, Keegan) huddling around Thatcher giving her a peck on the cheeks.

The Gentlemen

Veers between everything good and bad about Guy Ritchie films. Very entertaining in parts with some fine scenery chewing but feels a bit outdated and almost like he's making a tribute film to his Lock, Stock & Snatch days.

The whole convoluted screenplay framing gimmick was a bit irritating as well.

Room for Romeo brass wins that contest both brilliant

1917 is a decent film. Some touching moments and impressive cinematography, but nothing special.

Both great, but Dead Man`s Shoes is just so haunting it wins for me.

I think Dead Man's Shoes is clearly the better film but you did say Considene's best performance. Because Morell in Romeo Brass is an absolutely chilling portrayal of an utter pyschopath.

Just watched an old film with a youngJames Stewart, Mr Smith Goes To Washington, good 1930s film about the US Senate and corrupt senator's. Good film, his first big one with some funny bits. Kind of interesting with a tneme of corruption, which would of course never happen in US politics.

Yeah, I saw it at the cinema. You know what you're getting with Loach - and this one's just as watchable as the others. Only issue I had with it was I thought a lot of the supporting performances weren't up to scratch, which is unusual - Loach usually gets a tune out of first-timers, non-professionals etc.

While on Loach, Cathy Come Home is still jaw-droppingly powerful - nearly 55 years on.
