Happy St.Patricks day wherever you are. What follows are a few suggestions for paddy’s day viewing, all Irish flick’s of course.
The General – Brendan Gleeson is simply brilliant in John Boorman’s gangster biopic.
His&Hers – Ken Wardrop has made one of the best Irish films for years. This one will make you laugh, cry and ponder. Especially for mums and the ladies! Brilliant!
Intermission – Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy combined with Colm Meaney star in a funny and fast moving crime thriller.
The Wind That Shakes The Barley – Cillian Murphy fights off the British in a movie that resonates with the whole country. Directed by Ken Loach.
The Snapper – Colm Meaney is the dad of a single mum, made pregnant by her elder neighbour. The funniest Irish film of all time.
So there’s a few suggestions. Obviously there’s more stuff out there like The Commitments and The Van and what not, but the listed ones are worth a punt / rent. Enjoy Paddy’s Day! Blog returns to normal tomorrow.
