Danny Boyle: filmography to date

Danny Boyle hasn’t made a hundred films and he doesn’t need to. Every film he has made has been special and though some are better than others, it is obvious that the man has a lot of talent. With Slumdog Millionaire causing a stir, I take a look at both Slumdog and his previous works.

Slumdog Millionaire #2

I’ll sum up Slumdog Millionaire for you – Danny Boyle’s vibrant Mumbai masterpiece that leaves you feeling breathless. Does that sound a little corny? possibly… but that’s how I felt when I came out of the cinema in a flock of happy folk who I was sure felt the same.

Slumdog Millionaire

Finally Danny Boyle is getting the recognition he deserves (again). Slumdog Millionaire, his brand new film (out today here in the UK) is considered by many to be a return to form – back to his glory days of Trainspotting. For me though, Danny Boyle never left. 28 Days Later alone is a highly-emulated and generally respected piece in its genre, which can’t be easy when you’re doing horror, which is very rarely seen as anything but gory exploitative trash.
