<p dir="auto">For me; the greatest director to come from Britain and one of my favourites of all time. His "slice-of-life" films are both tragic and funny with expertly written dialogue, incredibly well-realized characters, and an assortment of relateable real-life issues. Not to mentida0on his impressive improvisation techniques, honest observations of human behaviour and remarkable recreations of lower/middle-class living situations (with his very early work being somewhat profound time-capsules of 70s/80s "Sunny England").<br />
As of late i'm happy to have finally seen the entirety of his surviving work:</p>

<p dir="auto">i think "Naked" is his best film. 10 stars. A heart rending and at times hilarious (Maggie!!!!) dissection of the human condition.</p>

<p dir="auto">Ratings out of 10 and ordered.<br />
01 Secrets &amp; Lies (1996) 10/10 - His best as it combines everything I love about his films in a perfectly balanced manner and mostly eliminated the few things I don't like so much.<br />
02 Another Year (2010) 10/10 - Almost as good as Secrets &amp; Lies, but the cast of S&amp;L give it the edge (just).  Lesley Manville though, Good God<br />
03 Topsy-Turvy (1999) 9.5/10 - Just glorious fun<br />
04 Naked (1993) 9/10 - Thewlis and Cartlidge are phenomenal in this.  A bit preachy though, so it loses a point.<br />
05 High Hopes (1988) 9/10 - Ruth Sheens finest hour.  A really nice and uplifting film.<br />
06 All or Nothing (2002) 9/10 - Oh so down beat.  Such incredible performances from Manville and Spall though.<br />
07 Bleak Moments (1971) 9/10 - This film is just so hard to watch.  So painfully uncomfortable and cringe inducing, but I loved every minute despite that.<br />
08 Vera Drake (2004) 8.5/10 - Imelda Staunton kinda makes this one seem a little better than it probably is, but it's a top notch film all the same.<br />
09 Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) 8.5/10 - Very light and breezy compared to most of his work.  It was a nice change though when you consider what came before and after it.<br />
10 Career Girls (1997) 8/10 - This doesn't get enough credit in my opinion.  Is their a hell of a lot of contrivance? Well yes, but it was still great all the same and Cartlidge was again wonderful.<br />
11 Life Is Sweet (1990) 7.5/10 - Wasn't crazy on this.  It wasn't bad or anything, just forgettable in comparison to all his other work.<br />
Meantime and Abigail's Party would be 9/10 therby pushing #8 - 11 down two spots.<br />
Im gonna rock your world in quite a gentle way. Like a delicious cake as opposed to a bag of drugs</p>
