Anywho....one of Mel's better films? Braveheart, now theres a film!

[Lone Wolf]

Perhaps someone already mentions this, but did anyone else hear that two people were struck by lighting while on site. I think it was the Star (Jesus) and the producer or something

Do you think it could be a sign??

I actually like Mel Brooks take on religion in his opus "History of The World: Part I"

Yes, I think Mel portrayed the Irish nicely in that one.

Anyways, a great Irish-American film is definitely "Gangs of New York". A lot of people don't believe it is a true story but most of it is or derives from what really happened. Daniel Day-Lewis plays a great Bill the Butcher (a forgotten New York City crimelord) who led a group of men called Native Americans (who were Anglo-Saxon and considered themselves 'true Americans') who hated the Irish. I think the best scene in the movie is when the Anglo-Saxon Americans go to burn down the Roman Catholic Cathedral that the Irish were trying to build there. They came only to find it surrounded by hundreds of Irish and with the knowledge of the Irish-American Roman Catholic Cardinal that should the cathedral burn then so will America.

I also like "Gods and Generals" (not only because it was accurate; yes, Confederates wore blue uniforms and the Federals wore gray, you stubid morons) because of the scene during the Battle of Fredericksburg where the Irish Brigade and the Irish Regiment go at it on Maryes' Heights. That scene is so sad. They were carted away to America by thr English and then handed guns by their English's Anglo-Saxon brethern in America and told to go kill each other while the English occupied their homeland under tyrranical rule.

Yea Gangs of New York was a good film...even though Leo DiCaprio mightn't have been the most convincing, still a good film. Interesting, films that have some sort of conection with you always seem more interesting.

both of those are god films, i actually own Gangs of New York and i am proud to say that i am one of the few? (maybe) who knew it was a real story. Im into history stuff. And the irish going against the irish in Gods and Generals, that was, i would say a highlight of the film.
