Has anyone recently seen a film or series that was out years ago and they’ve just seen - and it’s great??

I just watched Erin Brockovich and really enjoyed it !!

Any others ??

I'm just watching the box set of "Pure Mule" (2005) and really enjoying it. I had no idea that there was so much sex in the midlands - and drug taking. It passed me by when I had the misfortune to live there for a few years.

As somebody said elsewhere, "Charlene McKenna, the best thing to come out of Monaghan since laundered diesel".

Family was very good. Although I think that might have been a co-production with BBC

Yep. Sean McGinly played him and this so very well. He seems to have a knack for playing scumbags

Another one with Sean McGinly and this time a bit more obscure, was DDU: District Detective Unit. Think it was late 90's early 00'S. Don't think it lasted more then one series but my recollection of it was that it was pretty good

“DDU: District Detective Unit” (1999) (240 mins) 4 episodes. RTE TV Crime Series.

Sean Mc Ginley, Andrea Irvine, Dermot Martin, Owen Roe, Bosco Hogan.

Directors: Alan Grint. A.J Quinn.

Scriptwriter: Michael Russell.

Production company: Parallel Films.

In an affluent provincial town just outside Dublin, the good people are about to get a reality check. The crime and violence, normally only associated with the inner city, is infiltrating into their proud and deeply religious community.

First came the prostitutes – inevitably followed by the drugs and the protection rackets. Now the once quiet streets are awash with crime and it’s down to the DDU to sort it out.

A fast-paced, gritty and realistic police drama, District Detective Unit deals with the internal dynamics of a tight knit team of detectives trying to come to terms with each other, a crime wave and the problems of policing a town where everyone knows your name.
