I've always said the Quiet Man is my all time favorite film

Coemgen, have you ever seen the Secret of Roan Inish?
Another of our family's favorites, filmed in the northwest of Ireland & features some Gaelic in it as well.
It's based on the novel The Secret of Ron Mor Skerry, by Rosalie K. Fry.

I saw it a long time ago when I was a wee boy.

That's a lot more prominent than just about every other film I've ever seen. But then, I've seen but a smattering of films, in proportion to the number out there, so I could very well be mistaken.
