Can't forget the rest of Jim Sheridan's Irish films:
My Left Foot In America The Boxer The Field then there's: The General Michael Collins and Hunger |
Knew I forgot a few... particularly Once and My Left Foot... I have The Butcher Boy and Nothing Personal on my 'to see list' and should be getting Hunger tomorrow or the next day...
