Monday's Movie - Raining Stones

We kick off the week by continuing to offer you an insight into what we're about. Monday's Movie this week is cult classic 'Raining Stones'. Another film by acclaimed director Ken Loach it was released back in 1993 and starred the then unknown Bruce Jones who of course went on to play Les Battersby in Coronation Street. Also featuring was Ricky 'my arse' Tomlinson.

The story follows Jones' character 'Bob' whose struggle to find the cash for his daughters first communion is the sad theme on which the story is built. Despite this there are untold funny moments and the film is typical of Loach's 'Slice of Life' approach. We think it's a top film anyway, and highly recommend you ignore all the Hollywood big budget stuff and look closer to home. Get it watched!
