1.Circle of Friends starring: Chris O'Donnell, Minnie Driver, Geraldine O'Rawe, Saffron Burrows, Alan Cumming directed by: Pat O'Connor January 21, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I know that this is quite different from the original story, but it's still a good movie. It's Hollywood-ized, but it's not so Hollywood-ized that it just flings Benny back into Jack's arms as if nothing happened. I hadn't watched this and years and popped the DVD in to see if I wanted to keep it or resell it. I think I'll keep it. I'd forgotten how good a movie it is. It's such a relief these days to see a film with so many reasonable, believable characters when so many movies now seem to sell themselves on outlandishness. It was HUGELY refreshing to see a girl who really is big--tall and solid--playing a character that's supposed to be big. She is not at all unattractive and is not portrayed as plain, awkward, or "nerdy" (as un-beauties usually are). She's ... Read More

2.Dancing at Lughnasa starring: Meryl Streep, Michael Gambon, Gerard McSorley, Catherine McCormack, Kathy Burke directed by: Pat O'Connor May 24, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.03
FIRST LET ME SAY THAT THERE IS NO BIGGER FAN OF MERYL STREEP THAN I AM. THAT BEING SAID, THIS MOVIE WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT. I HAD HEARD JAMES LIPTON EXTOLL THE VIRTUES OF MERYL'S IRISH DANCING IN THIS FILM WHICH MADE ME WANT TO SEE IT. HER DANCING LASTED ALL OF THREE MINUTES! SHE IS HER USUAL TERRIFIC SELF, BUT THE MOVIE WAS TOO SLOW FOR ME.

3.Cal starring: Helen Mirren, John Lynch, Donal McCann, John Kavanagh, Ray McAnally directed by: Pat O'Connor September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.00
This is one of the saddest, most beautiful movies I've ever seen. John Lynch and Helen Mirren give radiant performances and bring human faces to the struggle that is no-win for everyone. The members of the IRA are shown at once as monsters and victims and neither ever becomes the dominant way to view those who carry on the violence. Mark Knopfler wrote the soundtrack -- it only adds to the poignancy of the film. You can't miss w/ this one.

4.Inventing the Abbotts starring: Liv Tyler, Jennifer Connelly, Joaquin Phoenix, Billy Crudup, Will Patton directed by: Pat O'Connor March 13, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.08
The song during the last credits is "On Springfield Mountain" Artist Tara MacLean. I cannot understand why a review says this song is not on the soundtrack, it is listed on the soundtrack, so it should be there.. You cannot buy just this song or download it as an mp3, you have to buy the whole soundtrack.

5.Sweet November (2001) starring: Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Jason Isaacs, Greg Germann, Liam Aiken directed by: Pat O'Connor December 11, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is not just about two people in love, it is about San Francisco at its best. It is about making the most of every day. So what if it is a little too "chickflicky". Way to go, Charlize!

6.Stars & Bars starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Harry Dean Stanton, Kent Broadhurst, Maury Chaykin, Matthew Cowles directed by: Pat O'Connor June 02, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.29
Yeah, I know that the critics hated it, and I can sometimes find reasons to agree with their assesments. But, I am mysteriously drawn to this farce. The notion of mixing Renoir, New York City "artworld" sophistication, the "new" South and the old, spiced with as many stereotypical characters as possible takes theatre of absurdity into an uncharted territory. I love how over the top are the characters; how the plot while seemingly a series of unconnected events manages to collect itself, and how the resolution is somewhat surprising. No S&B is not a great film, maybe not even a good one, but it has the appeal of a cult film that make me want to watch it again to try and figure out what the film maker is trying to tell me. On the way I discover another joke that I have missed, or I laugh again at the ... Read More

7.January Man starring: Kevin Kline, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel, Danny Aiello directed by: Pat O'Connor February 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The fighting scene in this movie looks like a kids' play. The acting is laughable. The plot is full of logicall holes. This is the worst thing because it's supposed to be a detective movie. For example, the detective was able to predict what room of a building the murderer was going to kill a person by looking at the pictures of all the buildings where previous killings took place!
