Best five films from British Directors (Part One A to J)

No worries, i guessed it was an accidental omission. Incidentally, I caught one of Frear's earlier films very recently completely by accident and knowing virtually nothing about it. It was called the The Hit, and not only was I unaware it was directed by Frears, I was also surprised to find it starred acting luminaries such as John Hurt, Tim Roth (in a very early role) and Terence Stamp (at his charismatic best) - It was a kind of stylized, existential gangster flic and I'm still flabbergasted I'd never heard of it up to that point. Apparently, Wes Anderson considers it in his top ten of the greatest ever British films. I wouldn't go that far but it really is a little gem and deserves to be better known.

 

Definitely worth seeking out, especially the first two in the trilogy: My Childhood and My Ain Folk, once seen, never forgotten.
