I find myself recalling many memorable scenes in classic films, Irish or otherwise, set in pubs. Immediately coming to mind is the scene in "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" when protagonists Damien and Teddy O'Donovan and comrades from the local IRA battalion open fire on British soldiers who, foolishly, felt safe in the warmth and congeniality of 'the local.' The British paid a stiff price!</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Right, IRA men open fire on British soldiers trying to unwind in a pub in Cork, during 'The Tan War," from Ken Loach's Palme D'Or winning film "The Wild That Shakes the Barley."</strong></p>
<p class="p1">So we ask, what scenes, in what films, helped provide you that literal or artistic truth that made for an outstanding film-viewing experience?</p>
