No Shane? No Alan Clarke? Clarke would have had my vote, if he's been on the list...
While I love Winterbottom and Boyle's films, I had to go with Frears. He's made some wonderful films over the years and should definitely be given the credit that's afforded to the overrated likes of Leigh and Loach, IMO.
Frears can do social commentary but does it in a way that's neither heavy-handed nor condescending. Here are some of fis films that I rate:
The Hit (1984)
The Grifters (1990)
The Snapper (1993)
High Fidelity (2000)
Dirty Pretty Things (2002)

The question was of current British filmmakers (apart from Shane) otherwise yeah Clarke would have probably got my vote aswell. I think the ones to look out for though are the scots Mckenzie and Jobson, I thought 16 years of alcohol & young adam were great films.

Sorry mate, didn't see the heading in yellow  McKenzie's definitely a talent to watch. I though Young Adam was superb but was a little underwhelmed by his previous film, The Last Great Wilderness - sort of a modern day Wicker Man. I've not seen his latest film, Asylum but I've heard good things. |
