Mike Leigh Collection

Great buy, Mike Leigh is one of the best directors around

My favourite from that bunch is Naked, David Thewlis is absolutly superb and how he never got oscar nominated for that is beyond me

There is only 2 of those films i havent seen which are High Hopes and Topsy turvy
 
Secrets & Lies is awesome.... Brenda Blethyn can be a little annoying, a bit OTT, but Tim Spall more than makes up for it. He is absolutely superb as Morris.
 
career girls although a short film is quite good
life is sweet is also a good one
vera drake i have but stopped watching it half way through
 
Love all of Mike Leigh's films, in particular NAKED. David Thewlis is truly superb.

Is NUTS IN MAY in the boxset? That has to be one of the funniest/best films he has ever done.
 
Could have sworn I posted a few minutes ago, hey ho.

Topsey Turvey is excellent, I've got it on DVD and you've just reminded me to watch it again. Thanks. :)

Meantime is really bleak, but well worth watching.
 
It's not included although i have heard a rumour that a second boxset is being released in the future showing the rest of his work.

Looking forward to getting this through the post, i'm hoping it turns up for this weekend. Will be watching Naked first, dada-ist nuns and head twitches ("MAGGIE!!") a must.
