OK, they misspelled DeLorean, and the design’s a bit ropey and it makes a buzzing sound and doesn’t travel through time and the flux capacitor doesn’t activate at exactly 88mph, but still.

From the Irish Film Institute:
March’s Must-See Cinema from the IFI Irish Film Archive is Quackser Fortune has a Cousin in the Bronx (1970), presented in collaboration with the St. Patrick’s Day Festival. In one of the best-loved and most bizarre films in its collection,
How bizarre?
Gene Wilder plays a Dublin horse manure collector and salesman who falls in love with swinging young Trinity student Zazel (Margot Kidder). Initially they overcome their differences but soon Quackser’s oddities and Zazel’s class pull them apart. But when Quackser’s cousin in the Bronx passes away, leaving him a small inheritance, he sets off to find Zazel again.
The two leads are supported by a terrific local cast including May Ollis, Eileen Colgan and the late David Kelly.
The film is presented as a tribute to David Kelly and will be introduced by actor Jonathan White, an admirer of David Kelly and of Quackser Fortune.
St Patrick’s Day 4.20pm. Tickets €5 here.
Thanks DO’C

I would like to see Cinema Paradiso because it is my dad’s favourite film. I would love to do this for his 60th birthday. He grew up in a cinema and his family cinema closed in the 1970s and he still has the old projectors and other memorabilia from it. Please pick me so as I could give him this lovely present.
Mmf.
As for the Karate kids from ‘Punt Printer’?
I would like to win as I will donate the prize to some orphan children I teach karate to. They have never ever seen a movie on the “big screen” before. Now that I think of it they have never been on the Luas either so it could be a wonderful adventure for them. To view it would be Charlie and the chocolate factory ( the original ). of course. ( the story of the child with nothing who get everything because he is good )
Orphans? Karate? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Never been on a Luas?
Unless we hear otherwise we must treat this as a wind-up. If true the good people at Brooks have promised to give it their full attention.
