    >For a Sean Connery movie it was bizarre

    Buddy, if you're trying to tell me it's weirder than Darby O'Gill and the Little People, I am going to need more than Sir Connery in a ponytail.

    Sure, the below stick with me, Im not sure if they class as lesser known, they were to my uncultured self..

    - Black Cat, White Cat (1998), serbian comedy

    - Brother (1997), russian revenge flick

    - Kontroll (2003), hungarian sci-fi/fantasy

    - The Return (2003), russian drama

    - Dead Man (1997), US western/art

    - Three colours Blue (1993), french drama

    - Paris, je t'aime (2006), short film compilation

    As a bonus if you like smoking with friends Darby o Gill and The little People (1959) is an (inadvertent?) slapstick-comedy/horror from disney.

    "you can even see thi in action in US television / films."

    So Ireland is just like "Darby O'Gill and the Little People", then? :-)

    In virtually all U.S. states, driving while intoxicated will result in a stiff fine, the loss of driving privileges for a very long time, and quite likely some jail time to boot.

    This has changed dramatically over the last 20-30 years.
