Even as a kid…Alan Parker? Sold. Take my money. Fame. Angel Heart. The Commitments. Something about his directing style. The look the feel the sense of life is palpable. Love this film and it’s lasting appeal on everyone who’s seen it.
One of the all time classics .... when I first saw it with my little sister Janaina we were just kids my sister were under 10 we went nuts it blew our mind .... I’ve never forgot it since that day ...
I listened to the soundtrack all the time when I was a kid but I never saw the movie... Well better late than never! 24 years old and tonight I'm going to finally watch that darn movie!
@@IronIck45 oh boy time to wind up my memory box. Hmm. I think I had a very different movie in mind when I watched it. I mean, I had listened to the music since I was a small child and had so many good memories with it because of that. My family members had given me vague descriptions of the plot and I had built the movie up I my own mind from there. I guess nothing can compare to the imagination of a child haha. The actual movie was very boring to the best of my memory. I honestly can't remember much of the movie. It was very forgettable to me. Also, one thing to note is that along with the Commitments soundtrack, my family and I also listened to the Blues Brothers soundtrack a lot and I grew up with that movie so I expected the commitments to have the same level of humor and entertainment as blues Brothers - which may not have been entirely fair. I hope this somewhat answers your question :D
"Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud."
Just bought the Barrytown Trilogy....brilliantly written by Roddy Doyle, Superbly Directed by Alan Parker with an amazing cast!, the Commitments has to be one of the all time great movies!!!...it's a shame there wasn't a sequel but as Joey 'the lips' Fagan says 'it would be all to predictable!'..'this way it's like poetry!'. If you've not seen this movie I strongly urge you to do so!!!!.
Anyone who has played in a basement band knows all the trials and tribulations they go through literally getting their act together in order to get to their first gig. This movie is hilarious showing just how that works. One of my favourites.
@@spannerintheworks1190 I play the bass in a hardcore wannabe band, it was fun, but this movie get me on the balls-if you anglo saxon say so. Das ist unser Basser, mal spielt er schlecht, mal bässer. That s our bass (player), sometimes he play bad, sometimes basser (better).
It's part of the Barrytown trilogy, a series of books by Roddy Doyle, centred around the Rabbittes family. They were all made into films; The Snapper, The Commitments and The Van.
Now over 30 years, i still like it , cause the story is simple and true, You have to have somebody organising stuff, deciding what others have to do and than go for it.
2:05 that is the best haircut ever as far as I am concerned, together with the MulletHawke ... that haircut is so Rockabilly man .... wow what an amazing time warp this film is ....so many memories
I saw this trailer back in 2005 and I never knew what the name of this film. But I always remembered the quote "the Irish are the blacks of Europe, so say it loud I'm black and I'm proud!" Lmao in there accent!
Currently streaming (in Australia) on SBS On Demand. As good now as it was 30 years ago. Maybe better. Fabulous cast, fantastic music, very funny - the perfect movie. Really wish they still made movies like this.
I love this movie and this is the first time that I have ever watched the trailer. This is THE worst representation of this film that I have ever seen. This was one of those movies that my dad and I watched together because we were both so in love with blues and soul, and this trailer is the worst. The movie is amazing though, and the soundtrack stands the test of time. I will love it forever because of the amazing soundtrack and the actual story arc of the movie,
We Black people loved this movie as much as we love the Irish! Now, please, can someone tell me where can I find the video? So many of my Irish friends have never seen it.
Was this ever made into a stage musical? If no…how come? Great story, great music. Nothing like a group of Irish kids to reintroduce the world to mid-60s Memphis soul.
I just NOW found out this movie existed! I read Roddy Doyle's The Commitments 3 years ago. I picked up Doyle's Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha and started reading in a few hours ago, and in the authors bio it said that Doyle Co-wrote the film for The Commitments! I was like "theres a film????" now I must watch it
i don't watch films, but I was channel surfing and caught this and was captivated - only film i watched in the last 10 years. it watch more if they were all like this but 99% are crap
it's one of those aspirational films which is actually a good idea of approaching the concept of starting a soul group, or music group of your liking, and setting yourself up as the manager. Ironically it's good for the drama, but not so good when you think if he'd stayed around - the soul group would continue to part 2 (perhaps there was a commitments 2 film, not sure on that). So the moral of the story is stay put, and eventually something, worth enduring, will happen.
+macabre2007 There wasn't a second commitments film, but there was a sequel to it. Most of the characters are different, but it's the same setting and the same humour. It's called the Snapper.
Great movie, I remember especially that gritty deserted towerblock where Bernie lives; that boy waiting for the lift with that horse was hilarious! Where was it shot?
I too, am mesmerized by this incredible film. Does anyone have any idea what Deco says after singing Mr. Pitiful? He says "Hello Dublin..." and then something else that angers the others. I've not a clue. Anybody else know?
I watched this movie a ridiculous amount of times as a teenager. 😄
And as an adult lol.Oi Luv it when people say they have never seen it.Another excuse to watch it again

Top class movie, a brilliant representation of Dublin in the 80s/90s , Colm Meaney is an excellent actor. RIP Joey "the lips" Fagan

"What did Evel Knievel want?"
"God sent him."
"What?"
"God sent him."
"On a fucking Suzuki?"
Brilliant movie
U2 are shittin' 'emselves.
The greatest Irish film of all time. Just magnificent.
Arguably the greatest music film too.
God bless the Irish…
As good as Taffin?
Still an outstanding movie all these years later !!
Saw this movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago and already I've seen it 7 times. Brilliant :)
RIP Alan Parker - the great director of this brilliant film.
The ultimate Irish take on Soul Music. What a fabulous film!!!
--You're workin' class aren't ye?
--We would be if there was any work.
Watched it last night (Christmas day), I didn't think it was my thing at first. Now, I'm obsessed
that film is soo savage that words cant describe it i love so much!
One of the all time classics .... when I first saw it with my little sister Janaina we were just kids my sister were under 10 we went nuts it blew our mind .... I’ve never forgot it since that day ...
Sometimes I interview myself in the bathroom, like Jimmy.
I listened to the soundtrack all the time when I was a kid but I never saw the movie... Well better late than never! 24 years old and tonight I'm going to finally watch that darn movie!
Well..... how did it go? :)
@@DonovenGrey to the best of my memory I was unimpressed with the movie. Still love the soundtrack.

@alanmark3686 I'm sorry that my opinion on the movie offends you.
"Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud."

I played in a four piece rock band and that was tense enough, god only knows how much arguing and logistics goes into a band of that size!
@@spannerintheworks1190 I play the bass in a hardcore wannabe band, it was fun, but this movie get me on the balls-if you anglo saxon say so.
Das ist unser Basser, mal spielt er schlecht, mal bässer.
That s our bass (player), sometimes he play bad, sometimes basser (better).
So glad they never put a sequel together. This way, it's poetry.
Although Parker should have done the snaper and the van...
They did: two. Jimmy wasn’t in them.
It's part of the Barrytown trilogy, a series of books by Roddy Doyle, centred around the Rabbittes family. They were all made into films; The Snapper, The Commitments and The Van.
Yes. Agree completely.
Underrated comment.
You're not taking that horse into the lift!
Kid: "I have to. The stairs will kill him!"
AWESOME!
Yeah, that scene with the horse, hahaaa
I have got to say i saw these in concert in skgness 18/10/2015 at the tropicano they were first class .
What an amazing night we had
Went and saw the stage show 2 weeks ago in London....bloody excellent.
Gobby CLARKE lucky you!!!!
Now over 30 years, i still like it , cause the story is simple and true, You have to have somebody organising stuff, deciding what others have to do and than go for it.
One of my favorite films.
A marvellous film... screenplay by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais - says it all really! Always in my top 3 favourite films of all time.
2:05 that is the best haircut ever as far as I am concerned, together with the MulletHawke ... that haircut is so Rockabilly man .... wow what an amazing time warp this film is ....so many memories
Soul music and Roddy Doyle dialogue. Every time I see this movie, I think "i could die happy."
This is like my favourite film of all time
Got the dvd (love it). Got the album (love it). Really want to read the book.
I love this film
Look at Glen Hansard's hair!!!
Irish have a soul.
classic movie.
“I am black and I am proud “.... Irish people got be the coolest white people in the planet .... Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore are a few ones ....

THANK YOU! One of the best flicks I've ever seen.
Best movie of 1991!
I'm black and I'm proud.....no really I'm black and I'm proud to say I LOVE this movie!!!
"You're not bringing the horse up in the lift?".
"Of course I am.....the stairs'd bleedin' kill it!".
I don t know what s going up in Dublin, but this is still a great scene.
RIP Alan
As a rule i do not watch films but i caught a glimpse of this flicking channels and was captivated.
It's a great film.

"Where did he come from?
"He says God sent him!"
"On a fuckin' Suzuki...........!!

Was this ever made into a stage musical?
If no…how come? Great story, great music.
Nothing like a group of Irish kids to reintroduce the world to mid-60s Memphis soul.
I read it was a stage musical in the Uk and Ireland a couple years back.
Amé esta película!!

+omeganme The Snapper is a great movie too.
+omeganme - Also check out ONCE (2007) and SING STREET (2016). Both are great Irish Films.
+Theo Lamp, I've already seen Once multiple times :)
Had to watch it for my Irish studies class and I loved it!
+omeganme - Then, you will also love SING STREET. Let me know if you get a chance to see it, Ted
💛 this film!
That is correct sir, there are other things on TV apart from films in case you haven't noticed!!
1:50 Hozier crying
Haha! This looks good! I've never seen it before! My friends band named their band after a part in this movie..
Did they go on an actual promotional tour to big cities in the U.S. back then? This movie was huge.
This wonderful movie made me understand that gingers can make awesome soul bands.
You raised their expectations...
Andrea Corr played the band manager's younger sister in that film !
johnny the lips is a legend and lying bastard at the same time ha great movie

@@lmcd301 because Snapper wasn't made by the same production company, so they had to change the names
I HAVE to watch this movie... never seen, but my daddy always says to me that I'm gonna love it. I can't find to buy =/
I didn't know that the actress who played Jocasta in Outlander was in this (she played Natalie)!
Thanx forse all!
Great movie, I remember especially that gritty deserted towerblock where Bernie lives; that boy waiting for the lift with that horse was hilarious! Where was it shot?
REALLY good movie!!!!!!!!!!
Johnny Spiva No, not good, but GREAT movie!
super film les acteurs irlandais quelle talent bravo ♥ france
A Dublin long gone
Lads if theres only poxy movie to make you proud to be irish, its this one
That looks like Frances McDormand at 0:59
I too, am mesmerized by this incredible film. Does anyone have any idea what Deco says after singing Mr. Pitiful? He says "Hello Dublin..." and then something else that angers the others. I've not a clue. Anybody else know?
It was on the 17\10\2015 and ran into the 18th
Northside for life
Such a great film. My wife hated it. So of course I divorced her.
