Thank you from Japan. This movie Blu-ray will be released at August 8th, 2024 in Japan at last. I will not wait my memory 33 years ago. Angeline Ball is still deva of soul music, I think.
I was 8 when this came out. The film was so good to the point in 40 now I never forget them. "Dark end of the street" makes me cry 😢 I miss you so much, dad. I will see you again in the blink of an eye. I'm looking after my mum like I promised you I would. She's an old woman now dad, she's 68 with a beautiful head of grey/white hair, and she is still beautiful. It will be a few years yet till she comes up.. but don't worry, dad, we're all coming eventually ❤❤❤❤
This was the last one of the few movies my dad took me to the cinema for, when I was eleven, a year before he died. So yeah it makes me sad... but more importantly it makes me proud of and grateful for his impeccable taste <3
@J----L absolutely, babe. Our parents had great taste. I notice that the older I get. I look at some of the films and songs I liked when I was 19 and laugh that I even thought they were good. Commitments was an amazing film xx
@J----L so so sorry. People wonder. "Why be sorry he was 11/12) well I'm not like that and I'm so sorry but so glad this brilliant film brings great memories of your dad. May he eternally rest in peace. Oh, and he did have impeccable taste. Are you from the uk like me, too, x
Years ago came across this " nothing" movie on cable. Made me laugh at every scene, fascinated with characters. Watched it three times..bought it shortly after. Now,I watch and hope for another " gem" like this!
*Andrew Strong is the real deal - loved the movie when it first come out, bought the tapes played them until they were chewed up by the tape player and now I've just found this little gem of a show!!*
I didn't want to tell anybody about Bono's constant ball breaking up a bunch incoming prospect college bands but that Irish band An emotional fish cover Grey matter from Danny elfmans band oingo boingo very snappy like ooh baby ooh Bono's was cheating on his wife again because of that song by the Divinyls I touch myself
Surprising to see Johnny Murphy on the stage with a trumpet. He was the only non-musician in the film. Don't know if he learned subsequently or was faking it.
Still one of the most awesome Music-Movies, my favourite together with the Blues Brothers. And the brillant Glen Hansard only played a small part and now he sings at the funeral of Shane MacGowan…
I had heard that they had formed a band with SOME of the original players. It looks here like they got ALL the originals players plus some! That is OK by me!!!!! This wowed me as much as the movie did!!! YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
When The Commitments came out, Alan Parker stated he was trying to recapture the original Fame (1980), where all the cast were genuinely musicians. Some of the grittiness of Fame, diminished due to the saccurine kids tv series. The Commitments still feels authentic to it's place and time, thanks to the legacy of the cast.
Kocham THE COMMITMENTS już to wcześniej pisałem i ten genialny wokalista Andrew Strong. YOU have really good channel.Thank You 🤝👍 Pozdrawiam serdecznie WSZYSTKICH kochających prawdziwą, żywa muzykę jak ta , jak klasyka R'N'R etc. Greetings from Poland for ALL 👍 ✌️🎸🎶☮️🤝
Dark end of the street and Chain chain chain are just so bloody good. On the album there was an extra track from Niamh Kavanagh singing the full version of Destination Anywhere which was really good too. Stunning voice. The song was featured in the movie whilst they were riding on a bus, but only for a short while.
I loved this movie when it came out - not because it was the greatest movie ever but it was very different than anything I had seen before. Went to a bar on lower Greenville in Dallas Texas right around this time and they had a band that played Mustang Sally that night - so much fun!!!!! RIP to my friend Amy Gloddo that went with me that night. Thanks for posting this!
