Sad to hear of his passing. The Commitments is one of my all time favourite movies, will definitely give it a watch over the weekend
shareRIP. Bugsy Malone is my favourite of his films. I also really liked Mississippi Burning and Fame. I haven't seen The Commitments yet but have been meaning to.
shareDang. Evita for me. I had all forgotten about The Commitments. I only remember that I liked it, but its been ages since I last saw it. RIP
shareRIP. An excellent director!
shareR.I.P. Midnight Express is my favourite of his films but I also have affection for Bugsy Malone, Shoot the Moon, Birdy and The Commitments.
I have yet to see The Wall.., I think that’ll be my tribute watch.
Birdy seems like a forgotten film these days.
At the time it seemed like a powerful statement, and a director's movie, as opposed to a compromised commercial effort.
No one ever talks about it now.

I lost count how many we've lost this year. List seems endless.
shareI hope more people will discover "Shoot the Moon "(1982) with Albert Finney and Diane Keaton, an underrated drama about a marriage in dissolution. "Fame" (1980) deserves to be revisited and has something about it that seems gritty and contemporary like a lot of 70s films which inspired it.
shareLove The Commitments. Every time I have a reason to think about that movie, my life is a little bit happier.
