Homegrown Movie Hits You won't want to miss

ADAM & PAUL

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99

Long before Lenny Abrahamson became a Hollywood darling, he helmed this
quintessentially Dublin dramedy. Heartfelt and hilarious, the story of two lost souls struck a chord with many; the accents are so thick, though, that it required subtitles in the States! Which is a fate that could well befall Harry Hambridge in…

THE FLAG

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99

An Irishman making a living in England – and on a mission to right a wrong on his grandad’s behalf – is brought to life in hilarious fashion by the one and only Pat Shortt.

YOU’RE UGLY TOO

Seana Kerslake (also in Dublin Oldschool – turn back to page 1 for more info!) is magnetic in a film that blends charming comedy and heartfelt drama to astounding effect.
