Here's a link to a quiz at tv guide. Do you know your Irish themed movies? Some of them are quite tough!

I got 90/100. I missed the Emma Thompson one, "In the Name of the Father".

I missed that one too,and The Quiet Man. I couldn't believe they didn't have The Crying Game in there.

Oh heck I had The Quiet Man with 2 tiles. All I needed was Maureen's head. That is one of my all time favorite movies.

Me too Reiki but I missed Waking Ned Devine and The Commitments. Never saw either of them. Great quiz, Hippyt.

Tess...if you want a laugh either of the two movies you mentioned is a skit.

I could be quite biased though...I was born over there ;)

Ah, rats. I missed it. Now it's about blonde actresses.

My favorite Irish movie is "Circle of Friends." I saw it right after my first-ever trip to Dublin and it made me want to go back on the next flight. It's also the first time I had seen Minnie Driver and I loved her performance.

Ireland is such a wonderful place. I've been a few times now and still haven't seen enough of it! :-)

Me too, Max.

In some ways Ireland is quite 'timeless'.

It used to be a much slower paced life too but they are catching up with the rest of the harried westerners.

I can honestly say that anyone I've ever spoken to of their visit to Ireland, they all wish to return :-)

p.s. Did ya happen to visit the Blarney Stone?
Wasn't 'til I was thirty, that I actually kissed the stone.

Also went to Waterford where the famous crystal is made.

Oh and the Arklow Weavers in the Vale of Avoca in Co. Wicklow....the tweeds they hand make are indescribably beautiful.

Rock Of Cashel, St. Kevin's Roundtower...the Books Of Kells in Trinity College in Dublin.

Wow...just reminiscing makes me want to go again, too! ;)

What sights do you see when you were over there, Max?
