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?

If you were accused of being a Christian, would your enemies have enough evidence to convict you? -Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him keep pace with the music he hears, however measured or far away. -Henry David Thoreau
Pray as if everything depended on God, and work as if everything depended upon man. - Cardinal Francis J. Spellman
By scenery are you speaking of Scotland or Mel and Liam?
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!

If we could just stand here, without the words, would that be enough? ..Look at the sky now. What color is it? Or the way a hawk flies. Or you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking so hard on somebody. What do you call that?
"Don't cross the street if you can't get out of the kitchen"
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.
