5. The Van
A hilariously vulgar flick--part buddy movie, part social commentary, and all around fabulous.
4. The Dead
Haunting, quiet, subtle, and devastating.
3. The Commitments
Raucous, outrageously funny, and simply wonderful. I would say it's my favorite Irish musical, but see below.
2. Into the West
Complete Gaelic malarkey, but I adore it anyway, and so do you. (You're crying right now; don't even pretend to deny it.)
1. Once
Every bit a fairy tale as Into the West...but a wise, adult, completely ordinary and therefore all that much more beautiful one. Worth watching every year on March 17th.
Your favorites, anyone?
I'm still a sucker for "The Quiet Man" w/ John Wayne. "Once" is a great choice!
ReplyDeleteWatching "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" has become a tradition at our house. I like "The Quiet Man" too, but less often. It's always surprising how long it is compared to current movies.
