Waking Ned
Probably the most famous recent Irish movie that's not. Filmed on the Isle of Man, it's about a winning lottery ticket for a dead man. This is the kind of commercial movie that the Irish Film industry should be making but can't because it's too Oirish and enjoyable. Scot Ian Bannen was a great actor. David Kelly appears naked on a motorbike! There are lots of pointless visual shots and the bloated funeral for the dead guy who never actually appeared in the film was silly. This movie should be blueprinted and used to make commercial Irish stuff here instead of that Zonad sh*te.
