Apple TV+’s comedy Ted Lasso earned 20 nods, including for lead actor and co-creator Jason Sudeikis, who won an Emmy last year for playing the eponymous role.

Can it really be 25 years since the release of The Commitments? An acclaimed hit with audiences and critics alike when first seen, it quickly grew in stature into something of a modern classic and has remained perennially popular ever since. It has also inspired touring bands, a major stage production and a few million sub-standard karaoke renditions of the iconic Mustang Sally (and other ditties) in pubs up and down the land.
Unemployed Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins) dreams of being a band manager, and places an ad in the local paper – “Have you got soul? If so the world’s hardest working band is looking for you.” Various losers, opportunists and drop-outs turn up at his door to audition, but bit by bit he manages to put together an inexperienced band comprising ten members: men, women, backing singers, guitarists, saxophonists, a drummer and an unlikely lead vocalist...

Today is Saint Patrick’s Day, a day to celebrate all things Irish, a day when real Irishmen and women hide in their homes while Amateur Irishmen take to the streets and the pubs. It’s a day when the city of Chicago – no lie – dyes the mouth of the Chicago River green… or even greener than usual. Given that this year Saint Paddy’s day occurs on a Sunday, I suspect that the celebration has been going on since at least Friday and may well last into next Thursday what with the whiskey and the beer and the general all around vomiting. Ah, glorious!
Since we’re celebrating things that are Irish, I’ll be mentioning some of me own favorite Irish films. You may have different ones and I’ll drink to those as well (it’s a day for it) but these are my particular favorites.
The Quiet Man
Classic.

"Time for a wedding"
[Spoilers]
Always the skinny white guy, never the hero - it's like the tagline for DJ Qualls' CV. After bursting onto the scene as Kyle - who, unsurprisingly, was a nerdy white guy on Road Trip - Qualls went on to carve a somewhat successful acting career for himself. So, in an episode revolving around the socially inept - those of us who carved our own clique; didn't quite have the 'look'; or, in the more extreme cases, wander around comic-cons offering free hugs in order to attain some small amount of physical interaction - who better to play Dean's (Jensen Ackles) stand in hunter?
Now, this is in no way a personal attack on Qualls - far from it, as the guy is one of my favourite bit actors - but his entire make-up fits the role requirements perfectly. Just as Warwick Davis was perfect in Willow,...

As Dustin will attest, after going on a Michael Fassbender Bender a few weeks ago, I started a list called "The Best Irish Films." Then I scrapped that list because I somehow felt obliged to watch all the Irish films before being qualified to talk about "The Best". But you can't watch all the Irish films, folks and when you try, as I did, you end up watching a lot of films on terrorism. And then everything gets a little bleak. And then you have to wash your soul in whiskey and start again. I didn't make it, friends. I didn't watch them all. So I'm renaming this list "My Favorite Irish Films" and, to add insult to injury, I'm going to use a fairly loose definition of "Irish" (Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Irishmen Abroad!)
Also, lucky for me, a lovely and comprehensive article about Irish biopics was already...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
We love this holiday — afterall, we’re green every day of the year! But today, Disc Dish is going Irish with five great movie picks from our friend and fellow movie lover Irish-American Janine McGoldrick.
So, pour yourself a pint of Guinness and pick one of the films below to watch this St. Paddy’s Day.
Take it away, Janine…
5. Man of Aran (1934)
Man of Aran, 1934
At the suggestion of my brother, my family sat down for a viewing of Man of Aran before our first trip to Ireland. A documentary-style fiction from groundbreaking American filmmaker Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North), the film depicts the simple-yet-grueling life on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland in the early 20th century. You won’t find the typical rolling green pastures filled with fluffy white sheep in this movie. The land is harsh and barren,...

The once baby-faced cast of Alan Parker’s smash-hit film “The Commitments” have come together with the plan of putting on shows around the county. Once an unknown cast of the movie, based on Roddy Doyle’s hilarious book, are now successful in their own rights and ready to mark the movies 20th anniversary and raise some money for charity by touring around Ireland. At the Liberty Hall Theatre Andrew Strong (who played Deco Cuffe in the movie) along with his backing singer Angeline Ball (Imelda Quirke) and Bronagh Gallagher (Bernie McGloughlin) sung their rousing rendition of “Mustang Sally”. Along with them were Robert Arkins (who played Jimmy Rabbitte, the band manager). Arkins will now feature as a singer in the band. Also present were Dick Massey (drummer Billy Mooney), Felim Gormley (Dean Fay), Ken McCluskey (Derek Scully) Dave Finnegan (Mickah Wallace), Michael Aherne (Steve Clifford) and 'Outspan' Foster, played...

It is difficult to think back to the Irish film “The Commitments” without remembering the stunning vocals by Andrew Strong playing the character Deco Cuff, the lead singer in the film’s eccentric Dublin band. At the ripe age of sixteen, Strong began filming the drama based on a novel by Roddy Doyle. His distinct voice quickly became associated with the most memorable scenes of the film, including his famous rendition of “Mustang Sally.” Over 15 years later, Andrew Strong, now in his 30s with four platinum-selling albums under his belt along with several European chart-topping singles and a new band on his horizon, has proved himself already to be far more than the man behind Deco Cuff, though the label of the film was no simple task to shake. “It sold 16 million copies, that ‘Commitments’ record, so it was a huge albatross around my neck,” said Strong in a phone conversation recently.

A sequel to rock comedy Commitments, The (1991) is definitely on - provided the new script is good enough. Singer Andrew Strong, who had one of the main roles in the movie, says he has been approached by Miramax about a second movie. He reveals, "A scriptwriter came over here and spoke to all of us, just sounding us out. He's back in New York at the moment to write it. It could be a great thing or it could be the kiss of death. But if it's a good script then I'm definitely interested." Andrew was only 16 when he was approached to play singer Deco Cuffe in the movie version of the Roddy Doyle book. Other members of the fictitious Irish soul band are believed to be keen to make a sequel, and previously stated that Strong's reluctance to get involved was the only drawback. Fellow stars Angeline Ball, Bronagh Gallagher and Maria Doyle Kennedy all went on to further screen success.
