Saltwater.
Starring your man from I Went Down, & Brendan Gleeson.
Also, I was in TY at the time, & the whole year group got drafted in to be extra’s in an under age pub scene which was shot in the old Bray Head hotel.

Guiltrip (1995)
Rough Gerry Stembridge effort.

Filmed in various locations across Kildare, not a cheap filming process from the bits of set construction etc I saw as a kid. Never saw the movie as my mother wouldn't let me see it when it was on TV and its not been shown in years.

Oh I remember Guilt Trip now, think it was shown on RTE2 one time ... tough viewing, subject matter wise domestic abuse... Andrew Connolly was a right b*****d in that. All credit to the cast on that one but it's not going to be a big draw.

He plays a regular Irishman, wasn't he in 'The Dead' as well?

I watched that during a six film video viewing marathon one night in the mid 90s. I rented it out as I'd been meaning to see it for a while to find my flatmate had rented out five other videos, all of them terrible, one was Highlander II The Quickening

Divine Rapture 1995

Abandoned


with Marlon Brando

It was a woman he was having an affair with that he kills. The wife of the mild mannered fella in the shop if I remember correctly.

Does anyone remember Run Of The Country.
Say nothing till you hear more

Randy Archer

Crush proof and Accelerator (Carol from Fair City is in that- playing the same character)

Both about skangers

Funny how for all the hype it got from the Irish media - Garage is not uttered by anyone much - not a bad film btw but certainly forgotten

As for that Irish Times article - hilarious . They put in a film that had NOTHING to do with Ireland as a subject or location as number 1 . Ignore funny films like I went Down . They put in Johnny Connors Card board gangster dirge despite it being no better than the two films mentioned above

I went to a great deal of trouble tracking "High Boot Benny" down on VHS - what a waste of time - bizarre rubbish.

Known by many as Divine Rupture due to the fiasco it turned into.

He refused the drink cause he's on duty. The episode is racist as F but nothing to do with him.

That episode also contains an Aran jumper that would give the nuns a heart attack

Don't know if was mentioned but Wakewood, a horror movie from 2009. Wasn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination. Just watched it as it was filmed in Pettico, which is not too far from where I'm from. Didn't realise Aidan Gillen was in it

Gets more write ups than many films that were actually made.
I think there was an article about it in a recent Ireland's Own.

Anton - director got laughed at and slated on RTE's The View. Now hiding in a log cabin in the West after his career crashed.

Budawanny was another strange one. Controversial when it came out, circa 1987. The storyline about a parish priest fathering a love child was pretty prescient given what would come out about Bishop Brennan, I mean Eamon Casey.

Interesting fact about it. The horse racing scene was shot at Mullingar race course, now long gone.
