    Was it the snapper or the van where a nappy gets deep fried by mistake. Always made me laugh.

    The Van. And that's my favourite part too :D

    Great aul flick The Snapper. Really captured parts of Dublin around that time. Really accentuates how Dublin has changed over the past twenty years.

    Love the humour in it! Way better than all of these American sitcoms with laugh tracks!

    Love it. Great screenplay, wonderful sense of place, and especially brilliant dialog. Proof that you don’t need a Hollywood size budget to make a good movie, so long as you’ve got good writing and good acting.

    Cheers,

    Ac

    The bit where Georgie Burgess is trying to flog raffle tickets in the pub for a giant teddy bear always cracks me up for some reason:

    Brendan Gleeson: "Here....why don't we buy a few, for Sharon's Snapper wha?"
    Barfly 1: "That's a very good idea...." <looks right at Georgie> ".....NO!"
    Barfly 2: "Ohhhhh......Give a little.....helps a lot"

    Hard to believe you get so much sh*te from only the one dog!

    Great movie. My family would be real 'dubs' and still go on like that!

    "Close your mouth Mrs Murphy or the birds will start nesting in it."
    Always had a soft spot for Tina Kellegher. Very good in Ballykissangel too. Burgess' wife played a schoolgirl in Fortycoats. Some other one of the Curleys neighbours played a witch in it too I think.

    What about the Commitments :-)

    Jimmy Rabbitte: Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.

    Failed Drug Buyer: I used to play football in school.
    Jimmy Rabbitte: I mean, what instrument?
    Failed Drug Buyer: I don't.
    Jimmy Rabbitte: What are you doing here, then?
    Failed Drug Buyer: Well, I saw everyone else lining up, so, uh - I thought you were selling drugs.

    I went to college with one of Sharon's friends. The blondie one who was going 'he's got an ass like two eggs in a hankie' in the pub. She dropped out to become a actress and that was the last any one saw of her (on-screen or off).

    Deirdre O'Brien?

    Sorry to say she passed away in 2007

    Superb comedy with a sentimental hook. Colm Meaney carried it.

    We're 87 posts in - I can't believe I'm the first one to quote: "who she having it for" :D

    Read the trilogy on holidays back in '96 at the poolside in our resort in Turkey. Crying and screaming laughing for much of it :D
