Yes on THE COMMITMENTS. That and AMADEUS are my two favorite music movies (not musicals, movies that are about music).

The bit that Joey tells Jimmy at the end is one of my favorite end bits in a movie. I thought of that when SERENITY didn't do too well at the box office and it seemed like our hopes for further films or a new series had been dashed.

"Success of the band was irrelevant. You've exceeded their expectations in life, you've lifted their horizons. Sure we could have been famous and made albums and all that, but that would have been predictable. This way it's poetry."

"It's a fuckin' pisser is what it is, Joey."

It's the same way I feel about JERICHO being canceled for good this time. Just the fact that we loved it so much that we managed to get a movie spin-off or another season get greenlit is amazing enough for me. Whether it succeeded or failed is beside the point.

Yes I forgot about "Waking Ned Devine", that was really good and had lots of funny moments.

I didn't know Jericho was cancelled again. I am kind of sad about it because I thought they had a lot of good stories left to tell. I think CBS has a history of dumping shows that have no future like "Star Trek". That one sunk like a stone just like they thought. At least there is still "Battlestar Galactica".

All of these are good movies and I think the "Quiet Man" is one of my all time favorite movies.

Another one about an Irish American is "Cinderella Man" with Russell Crowe about James Braddock, a heavyweight boxer during the Depression. A true "rags to riches" story. It's an excellent and mainly over looked movie despite being directed by Ron Howard.

Completely forgot about those two -

The Wind that shakes the Barley is especially amazing. There are places in it where it's like sitting in a pub listening to people go on.....
