| I went on an Irish-themed movie binge recently. It was quite a film fest. I rented Michael Collins, The Committments and Waking Ned Devine , to name a few. Ned Devine has to be my favorite. What are your favorite films set in Ireland, Scotland, Wales or Britian? Whitch ones are on your must rent / must buy list? Which ones would you reccomend to your friends at Celtic Radio? |

| One on my to-buy list atm is Secret of Roan Inish |

Bravehart and Rob Roy just for the scenery  |

 Mel and Liam are certainly both eye-catchers...  But personally I loved the landscape scenery of the places in Ireland and Scotland very, very much! |

The mountains and scenery,  if I was looking for other scenery I would have said Catherine McCrormack, Sophie Morceau, or Jessica Lange.  I have walked some of the hills in shown in both Rob Roy and Braveheart, the screen does not do them justice. |

| Secret of Roan Inish, Braveheart, and Angela's Ashes |

| I would say "Breaking the waves" from Lars von Trier, because of the story (very strong), the landscapes of Scotland (amazing), and the music (glam rock groups from the 70s). One of my favourite films. http://www.deep-focus.com/flicker/breaking.html |

| I just remembered another fave. Local Hero. Set in a Northern Scotland costal village. Burt Lancaster was in it. Great scenery. |

| I go with Local Hero too. A far better representation of rural Scotland than any other I've seen. |

| Ah hell, I do enjoy both the Quiet Man and Darby O'Gill and the Little people. |

| my favorite is the Quiet Man.......has the best fight scene in a movie:-) |

| ooooh! I forgot The Quiet Man! Redheads don't get any more beautiful than Maureen O'Hara. (sorry Annabelle). I'll have to add it to my Netflix list. |
