I'm kind of embarrased to say I've never seen a Ken(neth) Loach movie.

that is kind of embarrassing, i've only seen 2.1

my name is joe and ae fond kiss.. and his 11'09''01 segment. and i rented sweet sixteen but never got around to it.

not that it means anything after cannes, but last year this movie won whatever biggest prize they give at my local film festival which isn't big enuff to warrant it's own thread. and then it got released for a couple of weeks, ppl loved it. rental.
