Like a newborn forcing his head out, I am just waking to the world of Shane Meadows.
I'm hooked.
Over the years I have seen glimpses of This is England's skinheads and I've caught mentions of Shane's name in articles but until last week I was clueless.
I happen to find This is England on the IFC channel and got dragged into Shawn's world kicking and screaming. I felt like I should get some Doc Martens!
I am now searching back for everything Meadows and can't wait to see Dead Man's Shoes (Paddy Considine has been a favorite since In America). I hope to get TIE '86 in the states real soon.

Welcome aboard! I loved Paddy in In America -- that was the first thing I saw him in, too... I hope you enjoy Dead Man's Shoes -- I first checked it out on DVD because of Paddy, and it ended up turning me into a Shane fan.

Welcome to the site Chris.
Always nice to hear about people from further afield getting into Shane's films!
Make sure you see A Room For Romeo Brass too!
