Leading on from Dublin expressions led me to my favorite Irish film

The Commitments

I've watched this so many times in the lockdown with my youngest that we now share the expression " Fuck me I just saw Imelda Quirkes arse coming over the wall " when something funny happens in the house.

There's so many made here or counted as Irish

Whats your favourite and why

Newry Down

I see a dark stranger is a film made in Ireland in 1946.

It was filmed in the Cooley/Dundalk area and starred Deborah Kerr and Trevor Howard; the film was produced by the famous film makers Gilliat and Launder.

The story involves a Nazi plot, and for those interested it is repeatedly broadcast on TPTV (Talking Pictures TV) which can be found on Freeview Channel 81.

Newry Down

The Magdalene Sisters is one of the most terrifying films, almost a docudrama for its portrayal of a sadistic abuse of power and warped sexual attitudes that pervaded this country for decades.

I actually visited one of those institutions many decades ago, and when I returned to a Christian Brothers school and cited the injustice of what I had witnessed, I was lambasted by another pupil whose family were closely linked to the Catholic Church, that I left after being propositioned by a priest.

There is a video online that formed the basis for this shocking film; worth watching.
