There was this animated flash movie a good few years ago made by some irish lads with the title something like " what the english did for ireland" or " a history of ireland"

basically it was full of silliness and shenanigans, talkin about the irish famine etc and how people ate their cousins one line was " chrisht he was handshome" talkin about the cousin they ate.

there was something about cromwell at the end and he was just murderin everyone...

and some guy who got a job in america doin something crap, I can't remember what it was but it was stupid.

the narrator had a kind of duncan stewart voice on him most of the time, nicely silly.

Anyone got an idea where i'd find this? anyone else remember it? I was going to post this in the animation section but felt this might be a better place, please let me know if it should be moved.

Thanks in advance for whatever you guys come up with, the last time i was here someone remembered the man of bronze film... genius!!

Ok this is really vague, any help appreciated.
So the main character has a flashback ( I think ) to when he was a young boy, like 9 or 10. He's in an orphanage and him and the other boys break into the kitchens, or break out into the halls. Anyway he meets up with a young girl in the orphanage and he tries to help her get past a big steel gate seperating the 2 of them. She falls and dies, and his flashback ends.
It's a memory I have since I was like 6 or 7.

Sounds like Langerland

So um.

Nazi Concentration Camp is the scene.

Jewish(I suspect) girl whom is Engineer disagrees with German about foundations. He shoots her and tell the other Germans something like "Do whatever she said to do"

Also German Camp Commandant(sp) happily shots people every so often from his elevated house.

Thanks in advance.

It couldnt be Schindlers list could it? I know nearly to obvious a film but does sound like it.

Berty

That answers that so. I had thought about it but couldnt remember THAT scene being in it.

Not on Blu Ray. Don't buy DVDs anymore so I will just have to wait.

I was looking at a dvd in tesco. Something ...Skies I think. The cover is blue and has that effect that the image changes when viewed from different angle. Does anyone know title?

Been trying to remember the name of a film I saw in the cinema about a year ago. It was French, subtitled, and the storyline was a man trying to get revenge on a company who manufactured weapons (or maybe just bullets) because their products had killed his father and he himself was shot in the head with one of their bullets. He befriends a bunch of people who also want revenge, including a woman who's a contortonist and a mother-type figure who's children died/went missing or something. It was a black comedy, very entertaining. A few internet searches have not helped my search! It may have been called something like Nik Nak....?

Not much to go on here but I'm fairly sure it's a famous thriller/horror.

There's a scene where there's a guy holding a hatchet, the kind of axe you'd use to chop wood (or someone's head off). It's very bright and sunny, like a southern state in the US, burning sun, cloudless blue sky.
He's in a wooden shed, maybe a barn? but there's either a hole in the roof or a skylight or something. There's a round block of wood, possibly a tree stump, inside the shed and a beam of light coming from the gap in the roof and going straight down onto the tree stump thing. There's some insinuation that he thinks it's a sign from god or something like that.

Sorry for the scarce details, it's the only scene I can remember, I saw it on while I was quite young but changed channel after a while cause I couldn't understand it.

I was watching 'Dead Calm', last night and it triggered a memory of another film:

i can only remember the ending, there's a large group partying on a yacht, at the end of the movie they jump overboard to go swimming, forgetting to put the ladder down. When they've had enough they swim back to the yacht and realise they cannot get aboard, and one by one they succumb to tiredness and drown.

It may be a foreign language film, maybe French.

Thanks.

I've not seen Open Water 2 (2006), but i do know 100% that the movie i saw was during the 80's as I was less than 12 years old at the time.

After reading the plot on IMDB for open water, it sure sounds as though there must be an original version or that this was based in part on that movie.

Liberty Heights

This one was released around the same time as The Wizard of Oz (1939). It wasn't as popular, I think, but was famous for its use of Technicolor. I remember watching a programme years ago about early Technicolor and this was named alongside The Wizard of Oz. I'm pretty sure it isn't Gone with the Wind, but could be wrong. There were very colourful looking sunsets in it. That's all I can remember from the programme. Thanks, and if you name it, fair play.
