Has anyone seen Waking Ned? (in the US it’s called Waking Ned Devine)
Man that was a funny flick; I highly reccomend it.
Soundtrack aint bad either
Years ago. I liked it a lot. The ending was great… not an American movie ending.
yup! liked it! 
I’ve had the DVD for a few years, now. There are some really funny films come out of Ireland every once in a while. “At least it got me my apple tart.”

I haven’t seen it, but I knew when it came out..i must have gotten dozens of people complaining to me that i had copyrighted music (the parting glass) on my website.
It was a good opportunity to point people in the direction of O’Neill’s 1850 
Lovely movie.
I enjoyed it. The old lady going over the cliff in the phone booth was a little rough, but funny.
It’s one of my favorite movies. And I love the ending.
Me too, love the movie
If you like that sort of humour, you may be into The Vicar of Dibley, in which case you will be happy to note that a new, 2-part series from 2006 has just been released on DVD by BBC America, available from amazon.com.

I love it so, really a great movie with wonderful character… and I really also enjoy the soundtrack… Two thumbs up from me.
I’ve seen it more than once. Yes, I liked it.
This thread brings to mind two more of my favorite Irish comedies-
American Women (the Closer You Get)
The Snapper- I’m dyin’ to see “The Van” (third in the Roddy Dole trilogy) but
the last time I checked it was too pricey.
Keep an eye open for an old BBC series, ‘The Irish RM’ (Royal Magistrate), which takes place in Ireland in the 1920’s or thereabouts in a rural area. Loads of lunatics running around. Scams left and right. Hilarious.

I learned Haste to the Wedding from that show! Wonderful show. Peter Bowles (I think, the RM guy) is a hoot
Netflix has it
Both series of Irish R.M. are on DVD. I also have the soundtrack CD. The Irish R.M. books have lots more stories in them, but somehow weren’t nearly as funny as the tv show.

The Irish R.M. is the first series I ever recorded on my first vcr. I’ve still got it. Law, that was a long time ago…
what’s a vcr??
I love Waking Ned but I can’t quite understand why Devine needed to be added to the title in the US.
I don’t understand why Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was changed to Sorcerer’s Stone for the U.S. market, or why Phillip Pullman’s Northern Lights was changed to The Golden Compass.
I suppose Americans must be thought incapable of grasping subtlety, and perhaps–in many cases–that’s an accurate charge.
