Perrier's bounty
Dublin old school
Inside I'm dancing
My left foot
The commitments
The van
The snapper
In the name of the father
The boxer
You me and Marley |

Flight of the Doves.
In addition to Ron Moody, it also featured highly successful athlete and RTE sports presenter at the old Collinstown Airport, the original terminal of which does still exist at Dublin Airport, but well hidden by all the modern developments.
You would be surprised how many films were recorded in Ireland in the heyday of Bray Studios, around Enniskerry and the Wicklow Mountains.
During the second world war a film, that is shown on TPTV quite frequently, was recorded in the Cooley Mountains. It has a national socialist (Nazi) theme! |

I neglected to cite the RTE presenter's name: it was Brendan O'Reilly! |

An Irish film, but made in a documentary style, which is still revered in film circles worlwide was the 1930s classic:
Man of Aran
about the tough life that the Aran islanders on Inishmor, Inishman and Inisheer had to endure, just after the Irish Free State had been founded.
Monochrome, of course, but a very important film, still to this day. |

The wind that shakes the Barley

You'll have to calm down sir and stop shouting
ye black an tan scum
Or you'll be asked to leave

The most spectacular movie ever made in Ireland, but not about this country, per se, has to be the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan, which is a film that will still be shown in another century.
It captures, according to those who were their on D-Day, the horror of trying to establish a fragile bridgehead in Normandy, from which to launch a prolonged attack on the Hitler's Third Reich. |

Into the West great movie watched it few years ago in Portarlington where some of the scenes were shot. They were celebrating anniversary of it's release. There is a fabulous mural of Ozzie and Tayto on the wall of the old cinema. After the movie we could hear the clip clop of hooves. They had two young lads dress up like the two boys in the movie and they were on the horse it was such a blast from the past. |

"Mickybo and me is a great film.
The run of the country is another good one."
Was scrolling through and was wondering if anyone was going to mention the run of the country. Love that movie.
Also thought Song for a raggy boy, Evelyn and the magdalene sisters were great movies as a commentary on how bad things were in "catholic ireland". |
