My 150 Favorite Movies - #33
The Commitments (1991)
Based on the first third of a trilogy by the novelist Roddy Doyle, The Commitments tells the story of a group of misfits from Dublin who form a soul band. Boasting a soundtrack packed with wall-to-wall pop/soul classics sung by the cast, including Mustang Sally, Take Me to the River, Chain of Fools, and Destination Anywhere, the film won the BAFTA award for Best Film of the year, and enjoys the delicious distinction of being voted the Best Irish Film of all time, in a 2005 poll run by Jameson Whiskey.
