Michael Collins
Ian Hart, Julia Roberts
Warner Home Video, 1997
A great film - should be watched by everyone
+ Liam Neeson Shines as Collins
+ Pleasantly pleased
This film has a real power to it, and presents a major historical figure in a way that is easy to appreciate. The acting and directing is superb and the film is very engrossing, and in some places extremely sad. I'd strongly recommend this.

Veronica Guerin
Cate Blanchett, Gerard McSorley
Walt Disney Video, 2004
A moving and gripping film
+ Veronica Guerin too EXCELLENT to NOT watch!
+ Excellent for a movie on a true story...
I thought this was a brilliant film, very moving and non-sensational. The performance Cate Blanchett gives is outstanding, and the film tells the story of a brave journalist very well. I also thought it covered a lot of interesting issues and I would strongly recommend it.

The Boxer (Collector's Edition)
Daniel Day-Lewis, Daragh Donnelly
Universal Studios, 1998
A classic film that is under-rated yet excellent
+ More Great Work From Daniel Day-Lewis
+ Action and Drama Work Hand-in-Hand
This film about the conflict in Northern Ireland between the British and the Irish is extremely well done with a balance between the lives of the characters and the larger structural historic forces that impact their relationships.
Daniel Day Lewis plays the character of Danny Flynn, a 32 year ...
