618.1You mean this film?VMSDEV::HALLYBFish have no concept of fireWed Aug 17 1994 18:203
    It was neat when she did that thingamajig and then he came back and
    gave her the whatchamacallit but she said what she said and he didn't
    go off and do that, you know, thing, like you'd think he would.
618.2No I mean that film41174::ISEPDEVELOPThu Aug 18 1994 09:2510
    
    Yes, that film about the Big mouthed intellectual, homeless guy Johnny.
    The film follows his exploits as he runs away from Manchester and
    visits his ex girlfriend in London. 
    Is this the film that you saw or was it just a strange dream that you
    had ?
    
    cheers

    Extremely talky movie but never boring. It's a hit of reality straight 
    between the eyes. So good.

    Conor.
618.5cash my giro please41174::ISEPDEVELOPThu Aug 18 1994 13:437
    Yes he did direct Riff Raff and also he directed Life is sweet.
    Two excellent films also. I can't remember the actor's name who 
    played Johnny in Naked but he was also in Life is sweet.
    
    cheers

    He was the boys' pimp in Prime Suspect 3 as well.
    He suits those 'down and out' seedy-type roles.

    I think Ken Loach directed "Riff Raff".

    David Thewlis is the actor who played Johnny in "Naked" (which I
    haven't seen yet, but plan to some time), the creep/pimp in "Prime
    Suspect 3", Nicola's boyfriend in "Life is Sweet" - and the
    good-hearted cab driver in "Black Beauty". From what I've seen of him
    so far, he ought to have a splendid career ahead of him...
