Tonight, 9pm, Film 4. One of the best English films ever made imo. Stephen Graham is absolutely outstaning as the psycho racist skin head combo.

Seen it twice, didn't like it either time. Too much fantasy.

fuckin lol

remind us all again, how old you were at the time of the falklands, that era. Was you even born?

There is no fantasy about this, believe me. Racist attacks were really common where I lived, as was the skin head culture.

I didn't like it man!

There was another film, cant remember but it had Russel Crowe (i think) in it and it was just like This is England but better, imo! Any idea?

Dead mans shoe is the best Shane Meadows film if you ask me.

Though I do agree that "This is England" is a iconic indie english film that is definately worth watching over some hollywood shite.

didn't think it was amazing tbh, and i suspect it is so acclaimed because the topic it deals with is somewhat riske
i prefered kidulthood or the krays

It would have been much better if the actors weren't so wooden.

Really? The acting was the only bit of the film i liked!

I thought the young fat lad was excellent, he can't have been older than 12.

There were a few bad ones, the guy who played Milky is quite crap.

That combo dude was a fuckin scary guy though. Great acting too.

Yep agree with the Nil By Mouth comment. Not for the faint hearted. The scene where he stamps on Kathy Burke's head and kicks her in the face is just horrid. And when you see the state of her in the morning. Jeez...don't think I could watch that scene a 2nd time TBH

Scum is a fuckin awful film.

Not at all for the faint hearted.

Probably the worse film I have ever watched.
