Erin go bragh
The first time I saw The Quiet Man was last year just before my
first trip to Ireland. I had only heard about the movie just a few
months before that. It was truly unusual for me sinceI am a big John Wayne fan. I own many of his movies but had never even heard of The Quite Man.
I too was moved when I saw it.
It truly is a GREAT Movie!

Another movie I would recommend is Waking Ned Devine.
It captures the Irish people and their interaction with each other
in a contemporary setting. It too is one of my favorites.

A good Scottish movie is Local Hero. It also gives a good look
at the 80’s culture and how Scotland (any place that makes you feel at home)
can change you.
