@@annchristina1188 they are fantastic films. I hope you enjoy the longer version of the video to find out my top 5

No Carry on Cleo ? Infamy! Infamy ! Oooh they've all got in in for me !
My top three would be Cleo, then Khyber and Screaming tied for second. Great video :)
When I was making this video, it was a tie between Carry On Henry and Carry On Cleo. In this case, Carry On Henry won 😂 I love your pick for your top 3. Khyber is always a classic

As a matter of fact, there is one tree in ireland that is the most expensive tree cause the government had to build a highway around one of these trees, costing nearly $10 million I believe. My wife and I went there for our honeymoon in 2023.
I love that accent being part Irish myself I sure would like to hear more folklore
I'll definitely post more shorts and full length videos on Irish folklore 😊
Thats so silly, i kinda love it lol
Beyond comprehension! Inhumanity and sheer lunacy led to this blot on history. And to think there are people glorifying any sort of repeat of it!
Why was there so much hatred for the Jews?
One Life is a brilliant, extraordinary film. SPOILER ALERT! I love how different and real this felt compared to most hero movies. There was no scene where Sir Nicholas Winton delivered an emotional heroic speech to a crowd to get help and donations (given the time period and place they were in, that would’ve been incredibly unrealistic as freedom of speech was limited). “Show, not tell” was achieved beautifully in this film. Instead of everything working out in a night, they showed Nicky, Doreen and Trevor working long hours, racing time day and night. Instead of Sir Winton saying he loved and cared about kids, they showed it by him photographing kids and doing everything within his power to find foster homes for them. I also loved the scene where he gives kids small pieces of chocolate and how happy the kids look during that scene. It also makes the viewers realise how small things most take for granted, such as chocolate, can be a privilege to some and how fortunate we are to have it. I also loved how they showed Sir Winton grieving the loss of the children they couldn’t save. The producers didn’t change it to a perfect happy ending where everyone lives. Instead, they mentioned what happened to those who weren’t as fortunate, but the 669 lives they rescued are worth celebrating. I also appreciate at the end of the movie, they told us what happened to Nicky’s friends. They weren’t just forgotten; instead, they were mentioned without too much screen time, as this movie is about Sir Nicholas Winton and the children he saved.
I need to save up all my vacation time so i can spend more than 2 weeks in the UK like last year. I did not get to see enough of these old buildings
