Douglas' magnificent award-winning trilogy is the product of an assured, formidable artistic vision. These are some of the most compelling films about British childhood ever made. Brutal, angry, bewildered yet also affectionate. Largely autobiographical, following Jamie (eight years old when we first meet him) as he grows up in a poverty-stricken mining village in post-war Scotland. A hard, gritty, hypnotic observation of growing up.

Christy Brown was an Irish cerebal palsy victim who overcame his severe handicap to become a talented painter and author with just the use of his left foot. Daniel Day Lewis is totally and utterly convincing as Brown - using method acting he became Brown and his thoroughness makes the film a great one.

Revered Brit film director Terence Davies paints a picture of Liverpool life from his childhood days to the modern in this poetic docu-essay memoir. Heavy on poetry and classical music, heavily against the Church and the monarchy, full of newsreel and documentary footage, this is an awesome tribute to a city that he loves.

Adapted from Bruce Chatwin's book and very much 'Thomas Hardy does Wales'. We follow four generations, in particular the intense relationship of two identical twin brothers, Ben and Lewis, of a Welsh hill-farming family. Visionary direction and ravishing scenery, our countryside at its very best.
