DVD rental for the Irish
It's a bad time to be Irish, from an economic perspective in any case.
If the faltering economy is putting a dent in your Irish pride, DVD rental could be just what you need to get back on your feet.
There are thousands of films which could make you feel proud of Ireland despite the bailout whether it's a movie starring one of the country's favourite sons or daughters, a small but perfectly formed hit from the country's tiny film industry or the story of Irish migration into America.
This article explains why DVD rental is perfect for concreting Irish pride and which films to watch once you've got it.
DVD rental through online sites which send disks through the post is one of the most cost-effective ways to watch films.
It's far cheaper than the cinema or buying DVDs in the shops and it's even cheaper than using DVD rental shops on the high street to borrow movies to watch at home.
The biggest and best-designed sites such as ad-heavy Lovefilm also allow users to search by actor, by genre and by country of origin so it's easy to find films that have been made in the green country.
In addition to good ongoing prices, a vast array of DVD rental free trials offer even better value for money for those that want to watch films.
So now that you're persuaded of the benefits of the service what should you be watching?
A number of Irish actors have made it big - or big-ish - in Hollywood in recent years.
Supporting the Irish by watching Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Match Point or Bend it Like Beckham is a bit of a sideways move, however, since he adopts a British accent for his roles in both.
The same applies to Colin Farrell in any number of recent movies such as The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus or Crazy Heart.
Farrell does have the opportunity to show his Irish roots on occasion, though, for example in the knockabout comedy In Bruges in which he plays a gangster hiding out amongst the gothic architecture of the Belgian town.
There are also many critically acclaimed films that were written, made and produced within the Irish film industry.
The Commitments, which came out in 1991, My Left Foot, which appeared in 1989, or In the Name of the Father from 1993 are widely regarded as classics.
More recently, Veronica Guerin, the story of a murdered Irish crime reporter which came out in 2003 and Inside I'm Dancing about a disabled boy who changes the lives of those around him when he moves into a new home, which came out in 2004, won critical acclaim.
Finally, it's worth noting that a sprawling film like Once upon a time in America includes some Irish gangsters amongst the Jewish ones.
