    It was indeed, the off license in Ranalagh was in it, and Nell McCafferty. Defo had an Adam and Paul vibe to it. Thought it was hilarious, and not in a rippin the píss out of it kind of way

    Johnathan Rhys Myers just before his Michael Collins moment. All I remember was his character was extremely unlikeable and there was this really weird musical segment with a guy who looked like Bono in his mid early 90s white makeup period singing a song about Finbar going missing.

    Funnily enough I had to Google Michael Collins (film) to remember JRM the actor whom I knew was in that film in order to remember the name of it....and yes crappy film.

    And all the way through the 90s and 00s onwards, every second Irish film is about some salt of the earth oddball written by some gob****e that went to UCD

    It doesn't get much bleaker than The Outcasts from 1982, I must have walked out before the end because apparently there was a scene in it with a woman having sex with a goat which I definitely don't remember.

    That was an attempt to make a gritty film about Dublin skangers but the script and storyline was laughable. I think it was written and directed by an American.

    I really like The Butcher Boy, Irish humour at it blackest and most warped.

    “Get up them stairs, fückface!” That line was a staple catchphrase among my mates in the 90s. I still have the VHS. There was a Swiss industrial band called Swamp Terrorists that sampled the movie too. A classic.
