War of the Buttons

Dont be at yourself

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111666/

Anyone remember this film?

It's an Irish remake of a french movie, I remember watching it when I was younger and loving it. It's about 2 groups of kids engaging in a "war".

I was looking to pick it up on DVD, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Anyone know any different?

Great little movie, they still show it on TV from time to time.

Dunno about DVD release though, sorry

Not released on DVD. VHS is your only choice if you still have a VHS player.

Ah yes, a fine film. Watched it many a time as a kid, and will watch it during the inevitable Christmas showing. Great freeze frame ending too

I auditioned for the movie in Theatre Royal in Limerick, got to the last stage too but sadly didn't make it all the way! Was a great movie though, was very jealous when i saw how good it was!

The Master

Ah yeah, I remember that film, I was in school at the time.

Everybody knew somebody who had a cousin/brother/friend/long-lost uncle who starred in that film.

Nolanger

The newspapers called it War of the Bottoms over some scandal that I can no longer remember.

Oh ya. I think that was because the mass mooning the lads did in the film!

Yeah great film. Teacher in my school played the part of one of the main kids in it.
