I tend to watch movies in themes and having rewatched this movie recently, am now desirous to have an IRA or general Irish resistance-themed run of movies. The trouble is - I've seen most of the major Hollywood popular ones. What can you think of that is more like this? Not big and flashy, actually made by the Irish? Shadow Dancer and The Wind That Shakes the Barley are two...any others?
share50 Dead Men Walking, about an Irishman undercover in the IRA, for the English. And recently, '71, about an English soldier trapped behind in Belfast.
The first one is about the IRA, and the second one is basically about how all parts of those struggles are terrible, the IRA, the UDF and the English secret police, or whatever they are.
Real life ain't as dope as the movies.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'm like the OP I'm into themed or actor things and like to do a marathon of sorts.
What about that Michael Fassbender film, Hunger (2008).
It's a British production, but see "Odd Man Out" from 1947, with James Mason.
shareHennessy, an obscure 70s movie with Rod Steiger getting involved with the IRA.
The Long Good Friday. Not specifically about the IRA but the plot does revolve around their involvement.
The Foreigner, with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, as a politician with links to the IRA.
