THE COMMITMENTS IS ABOUT AS IRISH AS?

Love the way Reel Ireland screen this movie abroad as an example of Irish cinema! Not only did the DVD have a 'Best of British' sticker on the cover but there's also an old book called 'British cinema of the 90s'. The very first page has this: 'Between 1990 and 1993 the only British films to figure in the top twenty box-office films in Britain were Alan Parker's The commitments...'. Irish-themed yes but not Irish! Shame most organisations here cannot distinguish between these two types?
