Plot – Spoilers:
Set in early ’80s England, it’s the end of the term and twelve-year-old Shaun is missing his dad who died in the Falklands War. Shaun’s having a rough time at school and falls in with a group of skinheads who indulge his boyishness. Around this time, politics has started to seep into the skinhead subculture and the group is introduced to this when an old friend, Combo, returns from jail, simmering with ideas and an urge to lash out. In Combo, Shaun finds a father-figure and finally a place in the world.
This Is England doesn’t try to tell a broad historical story about skinheads or racism but is simply a story about a bunch of people in a small town, somewhere in England. It does however raise an effective point during its final act about how racism sometimes can just be about resentment and finding an excuse to hate and act on that hate in a justifiable way.
RIP Terry Hall. A part of England is just about to enjoy himself ..first.. because its never to late and heaven is waiting to piss on his shoes. I hear the pies are nice.
Absolute chills at the end when he looks up at the camera. What a great movie. Ratings on this site never disappoint. If it’s at the top it’s gotta be good. For once, a place with actual good taste in films.
Every British person has seen this at least once
im british and i havent seen it
Limey twat.stop taking counties lol jk england is limp dicked land
Every British person has to brush their teeth at least once
Classic!
Maybe I’ll just remove the Recent Comments thing. Those who want to read the comments can just scroll and indulge themselves. Lemme think about it and make the change later today with a couple new posts.
idgaf what u do
just bring in the films & stfu
Admin just because grandpas and prudish hypocrites don’t like edgy comments from youngsters doesn”t mean that the comment section has a problem. They do not represent everyone so stop doing favors to a handful of whiny individuals just bring more movies
Yeah the rest of us enjoy the absolute debauchery. Babies that cry always get milk, why don’t you starve them for a bit so they can grow the fuck down.
@bies Actually, we’re not censoring. What we did is hide replies to a parent comment until you click on View Replies. This way, users can be spared the to-and-fros by looking at the parent comment and deciding if they want to read the replies to it.
I do not know about other people but when I click on the most recent sometimes it takes me to the actual comment and sometimes just to the film. If I want to find the actual comment I then have to click on all the down arrows to find it. Although what you have done makes things better.
Boring & not effed up at all
Thank you! This site is going to shit posting regular movies like this.
Hey Ted – Fuck you, you little fucking faggot. Watch. I just wound this little fucking pussy up. He’s going to whine and spam like a little fucking cry baby now. Watch.
It’s easy to wind Ted up because everyone knows he’s a cry baby because his feelings are hurt. He’s very emotional.
Here’s the news, you pre teen little faggot assholes, and you better listen carefully. This comment section has turned in to stupid fuck land ever since you little pre teen pussies have started writing your moronic comments. Obviously the future doesn’t look too bright with moronic fucking pussies like you heading in to adulthood. Nobody wants to hear your cry baby whining. You are the biggest bunch of pussies and someday soon hopefully someone will do you a favor and beat the shit out of you. That would be the kind thing to do for you so you can grow up and not be a fucking little pussy your whole life. Ha ha, you bitchy little fucking pussies. Chew on that for a while you little faggots. Ha ha. Watch. All the gay little pussies are all wound up because the truth hurts. Watch them bitch, whine and spam all day just like the little pussies we all know they are. Ha ha.
Some have already grown up. Some are complaining about their boss throwing away his tomato slices in an agressive manner and not wanting to work in the same department. The question would be where was your ranting when this change happened. I bet you were wanking yourself into a fenzy over on twitter or worse playing farm-fille on FB.
More importantly how many faggot pussies have you beaten into a new more productive way of thinking.
Listen carefully. When the top boss man makes pomegranate stew in a wok while on FB, BF and R27, then the production quality reviews department need to take a real close look at “fenzy over on twitter.” Capiche?
I do not capiche at all. Your message needs a lot more context. Who is the top-boss, what is BF and R27 and are you talking about real pomegranate stew or does it have a double meaning that I do not know about.
Your message needs an hours worth of googling to make sense to me. Maybe I am the only one who does not know what you are talking about but it appears on face value to be absolute tosh.
Obsessed with pre teens this weird cunt is,watch him & lock up your kids…..FUCKIN PEDO
Aggressive
Frenzy
Bruh, get yourself autocorrect

You are right. Look around. Bidens a bit h.
Dear Admin(s),
It must be because I am an old man, but for a long time now, I am fed up with the kind of discussions going on here: ‘ French are sick incestuous [sic) bastards sister fucks brotber [sic] everyone is fucking each other’, ‘Fuck you Fred fat, you bloated tosser’, just to give two recent examples. Now, I can imagine that it is a difficult decision to block certain reactions, given that many of the movies on your site were forbidden in the past. Yet, it seems you to have decided to do something about the childish behavior, for the recent proof of literary brilliance ‘Nobody cares you fuckin fat cunt, get back down the basement, lardass’ is found under ‘Recent Comments’ but NOT below the pertinent movie (‘This is England’). Well done, Admins! Those who have a problem with this censorship: please feel free to put your reactions on Twitter, while it still exists.
I do.
This is one of the few places where people can wax lyrical. I am happy to put up with ted, fake ted, matt-in-dress, fake matt-in-dress, fred and fake fred. Plus if I want to take a break I just do not bother to read anything and concentrate on the films.
It is exaclty the shit-pedo-cunts on twitter and tik-tok that have made the online experiece a bland space for people and that has spewed out into policitics and society.
We need more spaces like this not less and if aint anything to do with age because I am an old-fuck gen-x.
I hope the admins do not block and if they do once in a while I hope they do it in private as and when they feel the urge. I feel they have the skills and the tools to do many things depending on what suit them.
The only thing I really dislike on here and that is the kibble up and down ticks. That is pure pavlovian bait and always brings negativity online. However it may also give revenue to the people who run this place and they deserve something for what they provide us for free.
Amend your pathetic errors, please… ‘Exactly’ and ‘experience’. For a Gen X, you should know better. Your slurs are just as flaccid.
“Matt-in-dress”? ‘Matisse’ is more woman than you’ve ever had, your useless fucking rhetoric reflects your atrophied ignominy
Atrophied ignominy who the fuck talks like this seriously only wannabe intellectuals non-english speakers like Matisse use these type of phrases around here. Start talking like a normal person if you want people to take you seriously right now you sound like a clown trying to pretend that you are clever everyone will just laugh at you in the States, in Britain and even in Australia if you use these type of phrases.
Straight up. GenX here too…it’s true we don’t care what people do…these boomers always trying to apply rules to places.
Boo hoo another old fart with political correct sensitivities. Haven’t you noticed that this place is called “EFFED UP MOVIES” do you know what EFFED UP means right ?? Listen old man internet is not for you, go read a newspaper and visit your local cinema you shouldn’t be here in the first place. No one is going to shut up because of your sensitivities we are not living in the 60’s anymore….
Someone who talks sense,tochè fuck off you dusty old cunt,well said
Listen monkey, you’re a submissive touché…
Touché me baby….lol
Thanks for the shout out you old cunt,now fuck off
Oh just me again,used the wrong user name haha….fuck off again you dildo…or cunt,take your pick
If you don’t know how to play, please don’t come to the playground…
Like who cares what people even say? Why does it bother you so much? Just carry on. I don’t see the problem if people want to talk shit, let them talk shit. No one takes it personal. It’s all just stupid trolling. Why get on a public site and soapbox like you have some moral compass and because others talk shit they don’t. It doesn’t make you better or worse. Just say your bloody thoughts and move on without the high-horse bs. I personally always put thoughtful comments because I know that I need to be the change I wanna see. No one freaking cares what anyone here says. You shouldn’t either. Free speech is a wonderful thing.
England is shit this movie is proof
very good – worth it for stephen grahams performance – but dead mans shoes will always be my favourite shane meadows film
Nobody cares you fuckin fat cunt,get back down the basement,lardass
CAM ON INGERLAND SCOR SOM FACKIN GOALS
really good film. stephen graham’s performance in particular is very strong
Graham was so good in this it took me a while to not hate him in any other things he did as all I could see was Combo. A special actor.
I watched ..Rude Boy.. (1980) the other day which is an odd film set in similar times to ..This is England… . You would however have to put up with an excessive amount of The Clash so soundtrack wise Shane does a much better job.
You can watch my porn in OnlyFans 😚
No thanks, I already had diarrhoea today…
No one cares about your porn you weird ass skank there are thousands of women way sexier and prettier rhan you
It’s ‘Matisse’ you incompetent apocryphal lmao, she doesn’t do porn you mephitic trollop 🙂
Why can’t they all do porn?
I absolutely love this movie and the TV show
I had no idea there was a TV show! Thanks for that. I really enjoy these types of films from the UK. I’m sad there are so few compared to American films with a similar focus.
Jeez, how do I delete a comment here?
Brilliant movie. Really puts a strong psychological insight into how an abused young boy like Shaun finds solace in becoming part of a somewhat-harmless but fun-loving gang of skinheads, then onto becoming a full-fledged skinhead who advocates racial abuse thanks to Combo who is another member of the gang but just got out of prison. Near the end, you will see just why Combo is the way he is – his true colors comes out. I found it quite sad. The miniseries taking place in 86, 88, and 90 are definitely worth a watch too. It’s amazing to see how the characters’ lives drifts apart, facing a lot of turmoil but finding redemption in many ways.
