‘Raining Stones’

This 1993 Ken Loach film has a passionate and sympathetic view of Britain’s underclass. It focuses on Bob Williams (Bruce Jones, pictured) and his wife, Anne (Julie Brown), who are on the dole. Goodhearted but not lucky, Bob is struck by an unexpected misfortune just as his daughter Coleen (Gemma Phoenix) is about to celebrate her first communion (Cinemax early Thursday at 4:30 a.m.).
