A Word About Shopping For Movies on Amazon
Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959)
Starring: Albert Sharpe, Janet Munro, Sean Connery
is a Walt Disney film that has stood the test of time remarkably well. Darby is an older estate caretaker who prefers telling tall tales in the pub than actually working. When he is replaced, Darby is not sure what will happen to both himself and his daughter so when three opportunities present themselves, he grabs them up. It is a whimsical but not silly, supernatural but not outlandish film that is perfect for the entire family.AGE RECOMMENDATION: 8 years old and up. Be cautioned though that there are some quite scary scenes in this movie which may upset some children.
HIGHLIGHTS: A very young Sean Connery sings and a song-and-dance number with hundreds of little people.

AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEW:
"This is PURE Disney...sweet, serious, and especially, great for kids. Let the fantasy take them to another place, as it did for me, when I first watched it. It's Albert Sharpe, though, that gives the crowning performance of his wonderful career. Watch it. Love it. Always believe..."

"This magical story reunites a family on a small Irish island with little more than a young girl's dream and some hard work by she and her cousin...Whether you are a fan of the Selkie myth, Ireland, or are looking for a film that you, your children, and your parents can watch together, I heartily recommend this one."

The Magical Legend Of The Leprechauns
Amazon Price: $11.21 (as of 06/02/2012)

AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEW:
"This movie literally made me fall in love....with Ireland, it's legends, it's music and especially with a certain leprechaun named Mickey Muldoon (Daniel Betts, a phenominal young actor.) The story was creative while staying true to the old Irish tales, and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" theme was never used to better advantage...I highly recommend this movie for anyone who ever had a romantic bone in their body, ever loved a fairy tale, or ever dreamed of Ireland.
