Not a hidden gem as it is well known but if you haven’t watched Brooklyn, it’s a must. It’s wonderful.

The Commitments. My favourite ever film! And if you can find the sequels (The Snapper and The Van), they are fab too.

I was going to say... Harold and Maud, but was beaten to it. Fab film. Time I watched it again.

The Dig My Octopus Teacher Both very different but great in their own ways..
I thought the Dig was the most boring film I ever saw. I thought it would be fascinating. I felt it gave very little context for Sutton Hoo & its importance.

A film I'd recommend is Handsome Devil, an Irish film so hopefully appeals beyond an Irish audience. Really captures the challenges of teen years & prejudices from different angles. g.co/kgs/zUqiyE

Wild rose is the best I've seen in a while. Older gems are Once, Ae fond kiss, happy go lucky, dancer in the dark
