The Quiet Man. The first kiss 1 point

why are these irish films 

sometimes people think I'm crazy

Everybody knows The Quiet Man and The Commitments. And if you use 5% of your brain you know why Rudy (Notre Dame - The Fighting Irish) and Going My Way (Irish priests).

Return to Me in a story of a girl who works in her grandpa's Irish/Italian Restaurant. One of the great scenes is one of the old guys saying "Greatest Irish Singer" reply "That's Easy - Der Bingle"

Caddyshack is written by Brian Murray and stars Bill Murray, two of America's greatest Irish Catholics -- their sister is even a nun!

Chocolat -- the sexy Johnny Depp plays an Irish Tinker (Ireland's gypsies)

Two Sean Connery movies -- Darby O'Gill and the Little People was Sean's first movie and who could forget Jimmy Malone -- "What are you prepared to do?"

    Well here I am back to see you again. You have developed this lens beautifully. I have lensrolled you to my Maureen O'Hara lens, given you 5 stars and am your fan always.

    I lived in West Cork Ireland for over 6 years and have a lot of Irish connections in my lens.
    Check out Jeremy Iron's castle for instance: http://www.squidoo.com/jeremyirons

    My favorite film is Waking Ned Divine but I couldn't find a link.

    Cheers,

    I love your lens and it has nothing to do with the fact that I am 110% Irish. Thanks for the lens

    Wow - what an informative lens. Chocolat is my favourite movie. Before you watch the movie you might want to check out my lens about healthy food ;-)
