TEN IRISH MOVIES THAT HAVE YET TO BE MADE!

Fed up with same genres getting made over and over. Think we can't do anything different? Well there are lots of movies that we could make instead of another '50s telefilm!

Satire - how about a pis*take on modern Ireland? Played for laughs and making fun of everything from the Passport Office dispute to the Church?

Gaelic football - a local team try to win the county championship against all the odds

Religious movie - no not another telefilm about the Magdalene sisters or priests abusing kids. How about a serious movie based on the story of Knock?

Musical - an all-singing, all-dancing, all musical. Bet it would be huge success with the teenagers?
