The Grifters is a perfect (and perfectly nasty) neo noir. Prick Up Your Ears holds up very strongly.

Also noteworthy:

Sammie and Rosie Get Laid
The Van
Dirty Pretty Things
The Queen
My Beautiful Laundrette

I think High Fidelity is a lot of fun, quite well crafted, and spot on about a certain type of personality. The Queen has way more going on than at first one might suspect.

All in all, Frears is one of the best directors working today - IMO.
