I always watch The Quiet Man. It boasts many really Irish actors and was filmed on location. The music and the story are fun, the performances are magical . The only thing I do not really like are the portrait poses at the end, but they do give you a good look at the actors.
films I am thinking of watching
Shake Hands with the Devil - a very good JAMES Cagney performance as a medical doctor , a teacher in Dublin, who is secretly a chief in the IRA. A good script about how far you go for a cause, with Glynis Johns and Dana Winter.
WIDOW’s Peak- a nice comedy about stuffy Irish widows being taken in by a con woman, played to the T by Natasha Richardson, Mia Farrow as a widow they reject and Joan Plowright as the head of the stuffy ladies .
Girl With Green Eyes- a lovely part for Rita Tushigham and sidekick Lynne Redgrave about a shy Naive girl moving to Dublin and falling for the wrong man... or maybe not? With Peter Finch
i am not sure I am up to the Dead although it may be my favorite film about Ireland . In its way it is full of despair, and I am not sure I can manage that. Through the movie, Gabriel looks on at his friends and relatives as they celebrate Christmas. He watches their foibles, their drinking, flirting, the passionate politics and efforts to retain something of the lost past . He watches from high up, sure that his own life and his marriage to Greta are on a secure footing of comfortable security, until Greta reveals an old lost love and suddenly he realizes he never knew her at all.
anyone have other films from the ould sod to enjoy tomorrow? In between bouts of the Garth Game of Course !
