...although they are quite different: My Beautiful Laundrette and Sammy & Rosie Get Laid. More socio-political than Prick Up Your Ears.I'd also recommend The Grifters, The Snapper, The Van, High Fidelity and Dirty Pretty Things.
I'm quite fond of Frears as a director and think he's underrated by many. He's been making interesting, quality films for a long time and seems to be on a roll with his last few.
