My left foot starring the brilliant Daniel Day Lewis.

Plot Outline: The story of Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy. He learned to paint and write with his only controllable limb - his left foot.

One of the most moving stories I've ever seen.

Irish films are great. I enjoy the true stories though, such as The Magdalene Sisters and Angela's Ashes, both very touching.

If you liked My Left Foot, you should see Daniel Day-Lewis in 'In The Name Of The Father'.

Great, great performance, from both himself and Pete Postlethwaite.

I've seen it Chapel but it was spoilt for me by making the story a complete fiction instead of sticking to the facts of the case.

Gerry Conlon (the part played by DDL) was very upset by the mangling that the film makers made of the story but he wasn't in a position to do anything about it.

It was a great shame because the real story was so powerful it didn't need to be fictionalised, but that's hollywood for you,

that would have to be a toss up between:

INTERMISSION : A variety of losers in Dublin have harrowingly farcical intersecting stories of love, greed and violence

or The Quiet Man : John Wayne monkeys around an irish village he was born in, filled with ludicrous irish cliches.

What about" Ryan's Daughter?" I think John Mills got an Oscar for that film performance.

Intermission.

 

Well, that or Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

All great (with the exception of John Wayne's Irish accent). But what about The Van? Or anything else based on the works of Roddy Doyle.
