Does ET count? It is a true story of a dwarf from Longford so I guess it should.

If not that home made porno that was going round in the 1980s. Made by a lad in Galway, Salthill I think but could have been Connemara. He left his socks on whilst giving his girlfriend one. Sold it round all the shops and pubs. Some pubs even showed it like a cinematic experience. Screenings stopped when your ones brother found out. I think the lad ended up with the nickname socks.

No ones mentioned the Butcher Boy or Breakfast on Pluto. Wasnt actually overally impressed with Breakfast on Pluto but the sound track was great. Butcher Boy was a classic though,gets funnier everytime i watch it

11/12/2009 13:55:28 Lockjaw County: Donegal Posts: 959 510798 I'm not saying it's the best Irish film ever or anything but I can't believe noone has mentioned Intermission. High-larious! "Yer aul one! She poked me in the eye with her ****!" -------- THANK YOU. i was scrollin the whole way through to see when somebody has mentioned it. fantastic show. the idea of young fellas goin to ol bird discos to pick up divorcees and lonley ol women is class. it happens people. its very real. also the sceen where the skinny boy is givin it to the ol bird and shes slappin away at him then she just belts him and he falls to the ground belter. also breff... i mind seein adam and paul, its an alright show, very very dry hummor though. dunno if it would appeal to the masses. did anybody ever see inside im dancing? now theres a heap of shizzlenik.

Michael Collins, Wind that shakes the barley, etc.

But The Butcher Boy is the best of the lot for me!
