A widowed librarian and a young man have
a passionate love affair amidst the violent background of the conflict long afflicting the province of Ulster. Poignant. Excellent

Circle of Friends
Three girlhood chums attend college together
and one, a plain
miss, sets her sights on the best-looking boy in school. A
tender story of love and
heartache between the classes. From
a Maeve Binchy story.
The Commitments @
A
group of Dublin teenagers take solace in music --
specifically the Motown sound created by African-American
youth and relate to the feelings of alienation expressed by
Blacks amid romance and jealousies that
threaten to destroy
the group.
Dancing at Lughnasa
The summer of 1936 is beautiful,
but Europe is on the verge of terrible change. Through that glorious summer, at the very edge of Europe, in Ballybeg, Donegal,
the Mundy family shelter in their small home - five sisters, one brother and Michael, the love child of Christina, the youngest
sister. The film is seen through the eyes of the boy as he feels the joy and security of his close-knit clan, but its secrets
and sorrows begin to break through. They will tear this world apart. The arrival of Gerry, Michael's father, on his way to
fight for Franco in Spain, unleashes repressed passion.
The Eden of Ballybeg is changed forever. The memory
of that summer haunts Michael forever, memories of love and loss, of women dancing, dancing as if their lives depended on
it.

@
Based on the true story of the Guilford Four, this film tells a

an equally crusty and unwilling
novelist.

More of the
Irish Stuff
Note: I got these titles from <BigStar.com> Not all these titles may
be available at this time, however, most of them are. Also, because I did a power search to obtain the listing, some movies
only have the word Irish spoken in the dialogue and therefore appear on the list.
I have italicized the ones I know
or believe have an Irish theme, although, not all will have an accurate portrayal of Irish things or people present or past.
Some are most definitely stage Irish or Hollywood Irish .
