One of the films is Sexy Beast directed by Jonathan Glazer which I'm looking forward to renting on 25 November. But apart from his other film (the massively underrated Birth, 2004) he's possibly slightly more known to me for his work in adverts, which are amazing and likely to be very familiar to anyone reading this.
Here are some favourites.
VW Polo - Protection, featuring the Faure requiem
Guiness Surfer
Stella Artois - Ice skating priests
There's a much better resolution version available here but I didn't know how to embed it.
Here's the opening sequence to his film Birth, gorgeously shot and with music from Alexandre Desplat - it's a beautiful opening. Jad Abumrad of my favourite radio show (Radiolab) is also rather taken with it.

OK, not entirely sure about this one, though it certainly is spectacular ;)
My new favourite thing... apparently Cadbury's commissioned Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin, Sexy Beast, *that* Guinness ad) to make an ad for Flake. This is the astounding result, which was declined by Cadbury's and never televised: https://t.co/u6aTc8nXHZ— Ben Andac (@TheSakeDiary) November 28, 2017
