Topic: Three Movies i recommend you watch

The three Movies i have chosen, are all little British gems. Dead Man's Shoes and This is England are both directed by Shane Meadows. Dog soldiers was directed by Neil Marshall

Dead Man's Shoes (2004)

The story revolves around the character of Richard (Paddy Considine), a paratrooper returning to his small home town of Matlock in the Peak District. Richard has returned home from the army to exact revenge on the tormentors of his mentally disabled younger brother Anthony (Toby Kebbell)

This Is England (2006)

This is England is a look back at the early eighties of British working-class life through the eyes of young Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) and his new gang, and dealing with the bitterness of outside influences such as racism and xenophobia, of mass unemployment and the fall out of the Falkland's War during Thatcher's Britain.

Dog Soldiers (2002)

A squad of British soldiers on training in the lonesome Scottish wilderness find a wounded Special Forces captain and the carnaged remains of his team. As they encounter zoologist Megan (Emma Cleasby) it turns out that werewolves are active in the region. They have to prepare for some action as the there will be a full moon tonight...

I found Dead Man's Shoes so unsettling I had to watch it over several viewings. I just found it very powerful. Dog Soldiers is great fun.

Haven't seen This Is England, might check that out.

Re: Three Movies i recommend you watch

Yes, its a very dark and gritty flick. I really enjoyed it. Also because i have family who live where the film was shot. Dog soldiers rocks! ive never really been into Werewolf flicks.. only that and American Werewolf in London i find entertaining. Oh yeah, Silver Bullet! that rocks too.. Corey Haim RIP

Anyway..

When you get chance, i recommend you watch THIS IS ENGLAND and if you enjoy it, watch THIS IS ENGLAND 86 the television eight part series. Its excellent.   smile

Re: Three Movies i recommend you watch

This is England absolutely blew me away. That kid was fucking brilliant in it. I just recently watched Dog Soldiers and it was great fun. I read (I think on IMDB, so grain of salt and all that) that Simon Pegg was originally wanted for the lead, but Edgar Wright wanted his first horror movie to be with him on Shaun of the Dead.

It would have been interesting to see Pegg in such a visceral and serious role.

I love This is England, but I wasn't too fond of '86. The one episode I saw of '88 was pretty good though!
