Foot.ie Christmas Movie Guide for TV

(inspired by James mention of movie on other thread)

RTE showed it last night but probably be shown on other channel over next few weeks - checkout "Withnail & I" if you not seen before for classic comedy.

Me likes the Hitch****s movies & think some channel showing them over the holidays as well - IMO all of them are great.

Any other recommendations?

*having undertaken a serious and rather lengthy study of his Sunday Times Culture TV section this morning ..and highlighted said watchable movies.. i can make a full report on this tomoro.. but from memory i wasnt highlighting many as even being semi-worthwhile this year..well excluding the foreign channels

methinks video's and DVD's i'll be awatching this year over irish coffee's and mince pies

oh yeah chaeck out TG4's listing .. think they got better films then either rte or network 2 alot of the nights

I thought withnail and I was sh!te, to be honest.

Raiders of the lost ark is on at some stage too. quality.

Withnail & I is a bit dated & todays students probably not able to relate to it but i think most people either were or knew those characters

Fight Club was classy movie.

Lord o the Rings II should be good - supposed to be even better than the first.

The Big JCs guest appearance in Ben-Hur is the greatest piece of cinema ever.

Ah Conor, you still don't realise that "the great one"'s name is
Devil Era.
Poor oul' Micheal.....
