I'll see this too, even though I don't think Meadows is quite as brilliant as you think he is...
It's more of what he represents in his films I.E working class England which is something I can relate to very easily and he captures it so well without belittling or making it cliched.

His films are made from the heart and that's why I really like him. I was exactly the same age as many of the characters in This Is England in the same time period so it's his storytelling that really appeals to me.

I'm glad you seeked out Red Riding Hood. It was a little lengthy but a damn good production.
