The Commitments - Best Irish Film Ever?

Saw The Commitments last night for the first time. People have raved about this movie to me for years. It's a nice film, pretty funny. But's more That Thing You Do! than Trainspotting - Director's Cut (Collector's Edition).

It's not even the best Irish movie I've seen this year. That honor goes to Bloody Sunday, the gritty drama that retells the horrific historical event that U2 sang about and still does. Alot. (It is their best song after all). The film is intense, gut-wrenching and moving, much in opposition ot the song. Do yourself a favor and rent or buy Bloody Sunday ASAP. You won't be disappointed.

The film does lumber a bit but perfectly portrays the two sides of the battle and builds up to the pentultimate moment of tragedy.
