Watched an old movie called Song for a Raggy Boy. About a reformatory for boys run by priests! Blood boiling by the end of it!

Aidan Quinn?

Seriously a cracking film

Went through a few Itish films last month that I'd never saw before, Raggy Boy being one. The others were The Magdalene Sisters, Angela's Ashes, The Commitments and The Crying Game.

Never seen the Commitments? Thought that be a given Irish film

Some cracking Irish films over the years, and some serious dung

One of the  best Irish films I've   seen is 'This is my father'.  James Caan,  Aidan Quinn , John Cusack

Well worth a  watch.

The Field was one I watched last month too.

Good call on 'This is my Father'.  Excellent film.

Unreal, a classic

Smokin Joe

The Snapper was another great Irish film

Ok so from my recent runs to the cinema...

Barbie, as expected, very weird and a pile of tripe but Margot Robbie is in it so....

Blue Beetle – the worst movie I have seen in quite a while. One to avoid. My kids somehow enjoyed it though.

Haunted Mansion – grand. Some funny bits as expected with a Disney show.  Worth the trip with the family.

Gran Turismo – thoroughly enjoyed this.  I was actually surprised that it turned out to be a decent show.

still enjoy High Fidelity with jack black and John Cusack

Prob should start a new thread but - actors who annoy the fcuk outa ye?!

I'll start with jack black, plenty seem to like him but I pretty much won't watch anything with him in it. Just find him ott and annoying
