If it's shot here or set here, it's Irish enough for #Bootlegfriday!

What a fun, stylish and cracked debut from an American master. Thanks to @cethanleahy.com for another strong Irish film pick and to all you lovely people for playing along. And here is a fun TG4 documentary about Roger Corman's 90's Irish flicks. Goodnight. #Bootlegfriday youtu.be/hB-qnpcEF2Q?...

What the hell kind of accent is this shrink trying to pull? #Bootlegfriday

Some strong Hammer Horror vibes with that sheer negligee. Something that Coppola would return to with his Dracula movie. #Bootlegfriday

15 minutes to go already. How the hell will this wrap up? Let's find out! #Bootlegfriday

Kill number two! I'm loving the harpsichord score stinger when shit goes down. It's classy and distinctive for a horror. #Bootlegfriday

Holy shit. Coppola just pulled a Vivien Leigh Psycho homage. Nice one. #Bootlegfriday

I'm honestly surprised that it took over half an hour for the female lead to strip down in a Roger Corman joint. Also that underwater cinematography is excellent. #Bootlegfriday

Keanu Reeves line reading of "I know where the bastard sleeps" is burned into my memory. I would buy a 4k of that film in a heartbeat. #Bootlegfriday

We finally got a gombeen gobshite stereotype here. To be fucking sure. #Bootlegfriday

A quick Google search says that the exterior is Howth Castle. Looks nice. #Bootlegfriday

That is definitely the first "cead mile failte" in Bootlegfriday history. We're breaking all kinds of new ground tonight. #Bootlegfriday

"Ireland's fine". It's shocking to hear a Yank visitor not claim that Ireland is a transcendent spiritual experience. Liveline would eat her alive. #Bootlegfriday

1 hour 14 minutes? Well this is a winner already #BootlegFriday

This must be the first black and white movie in Bootleg/Beyond history. Am I right @jaycoyle.bsky.social? #Bootlegfriday

The Yank dubbing on the rowing boyfriend is very unconvincing. Sorry, but that's a face that propped up many a bar after a game of hurling. #Bootlegfriday

Press play now. youtu.be/pP0cCZChc-Q?... #Bootlegfriday

My trailer for #BootlegFriday is Pet Sematary just because I am watching it and it's great! youtu.be/JMao8sg4DPA?...

my #bootlegfriday trailer is for the "chuck norris: bring on the pain!" mobile phone game. rip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk-Z...

#bootlegfriday my trailer is Francis Ford Coppola's tribute to the era when he made this film! A weird, uncomfortably personal picture that is at least less boring than Megalopolis

good evening everyone! it's #bootlegfriday! tonight's snack is milky way biscuits

Roger Corman also produced a slew of tiny budgeted exploitation pics in Galway in the 90's. "Moving Target" is my favourite one, where Don "The Dragon" Wilson is hunting down some nuclear detonators. Which happen to be stashed in a six-pack of Beamish. 🤷‍♂️ #Bootlegfriday youtu.be/x-00RkuIOBY?...

Never seen this before, looking forward to seeing Coppola's starting point.

#bootlegfriday and my watch pile becoming a venn diagram this week.

Here is the link to tonight's #bootlegfriday. It's a YouTube link tonight, this is a public domain movie that's all over the site. So please repost and we'll see you here tonight. Trailers at 9.45pm, film at 10pm. youtu.be/pP0cCZChc-Q?...

Remember to take the D-13 test to ensure you are psychologically ready to watch this tonight!

The Arrow 4k of Excalibur is a wonderful restoration of a classic of Irish cinema. Yeah, I'm claiming it. #lastfourwatched

I will be joining the #BootlegFriday crew for this. You should too!

R.I.P. to Chuck Norris. He was an accomplished martial artist who successfully transitioned into b-list action movie stardom by making movies for the legendary Cannon studios. I got into his work during covid and it was a tonic during a rough time. I'd recommend Code of Silence which is on Prime.

#Bootlegfriday will be celebrating classic Irish exploitation cinema with "Dementia 13". Which was produced by the legendary Roger Corman and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The poster looks good too. So join us at 10pm tonight and please repost to spread the good word.

OOH. I have never seen this.

Expect thrills, chills and me defending the movie Twixt!

#Bootlegfriday will belatedly mark St. Patrick's Day with an Irish horror movie "Dementia 13", picked by @cethanleahy.com. Which happens to be the directoral debut of one Francis Ford Coppola. Join us this Friday at 10pm and please repost. youtu.be/T5Lu2G0O3TA?...

Been a little while since I added to this, going to add a dozen or so more over the next few days.

I was lucky enough to see Liam Clancy perform in Athlone over twenty years ago with my father. He regaled the audience with wonderful anecdotes about his life. It was a fantastic gig and I've listened to his music on St. Patrick's day ever since. Have a good day everyone. youtu.be/gkb94eXqcrM?...

It's a fun one!

#bootlegfriday marks St. Patrick's Day with a pick from our resident Irish film expert @cethanleahy.com. It's an Irish set debut horror film from a legendary Hollywood director. More details this Wednesday.

She's going to bring the Oscar around to every school in the county like they do with the Sam Maguire

They should have had an audience shot of Zoe Kazan refusing to stand up when Amy Madigan won her Oscar.

Sinners had that Rocky Road to Dublin scene so I'm calling it one and a half Oscar wins for Ireland.

"Mná na hÉireann - The Mary Robinson Story".

I tell you who's just failed to win anything at the Oscars, Ray Bloody Purchase!

As someone who has been a Jessie Buckley fan since her role in a BBC adaptation of War and Peace, it's lovely to see her shine and her speech was great. It was also nice to see Sentimental Value win for best international film. It was my personal favourite of the nominees. It's well worth a lash.

A Dancing with the Stars and Rose of Tralee winner who is qualified to wire a house. What a C.V. What a woman. #dwtsirl

I just bet my horrified Mum that Paudie is going to win this. It might be bad Mother's Day karma but what can you do? #DWTSIRL

It’s St. Patrick’s weekend which means you have to watch The Fugitive or else the little people will frame you for the brutal murder of your wife

David Byrne is giving a tremendous show at the O2. An absolute legend.

Lisa Barros D'Sa & Glenn Leyburn became my favourite contemporary Irish filmmakers this week. Looking foward to whatever they do next. #lastfourwatched
