That's the ireland I grew up in..when we had nothing but ourselves...and we were a proud and happy people..we must never forget our history and culture..
Where people had respect for each other. I'm 51 now and when we where in our teens and have a smoke down a lane and a guard was coming we would run . Not today no respect
I was a child back then, I remember my dad was always working, Lord be good to him, it's only now I realise the sacrifice he made just to keep us clothed warm and fed
I LOVED reading this book shortly after it was published. Now I shall see if the movie interprets Doyle's fiction with the same empathetic humor as the novel.
Cracks me up that any time I watch this movie, it will have me watched "Con Air". Amazing acting. Love this movie. Eventho never been to Ireland, love you guys, love your passion and love all you have given to this world 🍀❤️
They mean English as in the language thats spoken in the movie so that other nationalities that speak other languages, i.e. French people who speak French, Spanish people who speak Spanish and so on and so forth can switch on the subtitles so they too can enjoy the absolute splender of Irish humour at its Finest, Delivered to us ALL by the Sublime, Genius and Talent of. Colm Meaney and not that Aul Chestnut youre stuck on. We'll never forget But also Don't forget to move on with your Bright Life.🇮🇪😏♥️💯 Oh and a Happy Christmas to You and Yours 🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪💯❤️
Being Irish born and growing up in England, i easily recognized the the humor in this movie. Ireland belongs to the Irish, i know that first hand having longed for Ireland as a child. Éirinn go Brách 🇮🇪
We had many problems then also but we still got by with support from each other and community. We didn't need anything but each other.. Now today we don't have nothing we have a million more problems and Tra8ors deserve the lot
Roddy Doyle's Barrytown Trilogy is a collection of books I will never get bored of... Most people know The Commitments, but The Van and The Snapper get overlooked!
I like The Snapper and The Van a lot. The Snapper was a slightly better book, but The Van was a better movie. I did not like the Commitments that much (book or movie).
@@reginaseelaIam In the movie of The Van, Jimmy only has two children, rather than a load of them. His name is Jimmy in the movie of The Commitments, but it is two different names for the movie of The Snapper and the movie of The Van.
The woman who played AnnMarie in this used to come and play music when I was an inmate in DCMH. We would have a sing song session every morning at 10am called calypso where musicians, some of them famous actors/actresses would come and sing and play music to us. She looks very young in this. She has red hair now and is still fairly good looking. She plays in the Veronica Guerin film with Kate Blanchett.
To all the people saying this is not an English film, it’s Irish. We know! This channel states in the title, all the films are in the language of English! Whether the film is American, Irish, English or Australian. Get over yourselves, and look at all the films on this channel with the same title.
'The Van' (1996) Version Colm Meaney always for good or bad gives me a laugh, ♡ that dude forever until he becomes fairy-dust in the wide big yonder. (He's welcome in my household collection of DVD/Videos always).

Colm Meany's character acts like the typical guy who really fancies himself when he and Bimbo go on that night out and try and score with the ladies. How does he know that Dawn rejected him because she found out he worked in a chipper van. It certainly did it for Bimbo!!
After reading the title, I just came to the comments to count my irate Paddy Pals screaming in anger: "IRISH. It's an IRISH movie, ya daaaaaaft EEEEjit!"
Great Irish trilogy of books & 2 cult/great movies from the early 90s (Never saw The Snapper). The actual "van" made a cameo in "The Commitments" as the Chip van the band takes on their 1st road gig. Wish they didn't have to cut sound or length to get around YT's algorithm.
I remember coming home from my first job holding my money in my pocket. Stopping and carefully pulling it out and counting it .Thinking my 58 dollars would last forever.
I came across this film about a month ago on RUclips I've seen it a few times over the years but it brings back memories what a classic a lot of craic they say back in the Emerald Isle
Let me make this clear, very clear 'The Van' is not an English movie or film. This is an iconic Irish piece made by Irish people, about the Irish people, for the Irish people!

I’m not one to go telling tales to the social security people, but that fellow with the curly hair is definitely working. I know he works as chief engineer on a Federation Star Ship …. now claiming unemployment benefits in Ireland. Cheeky sod !
We're still here! :D My teenage years were the 1990s. Dublin and Ireland back then seems like paradise compared to the way the city and country are now, before wealth, greed, and mass migration utterly destroyed the country. We had nothing back then, but at least we still had our country.

So this is the description of this film: In a small suburban town, a group of friends sets out on a cross-country road trip in their newly acquired van, seeking adventure and freedom. However, what begins as a journey of camaraderie and excitement soon takes an ominous turn when they stumble upon a series of cryptic clues hidden within the van. As they unravel the mystery behind these enigmatic signs, they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets that lead to a startling revelation, transforming their innocent road trip into a thrilling quest for truth, testing their bonds and challenging their perceptions of each other. Somehow, I don't think that was the movie I just watched. 😶

Well, beat you to it. I went to Ireland about 2 months ago, adopted the name and everytime when asked about my name and I said, "Jerry McCarthy," they would look at me weird and then burst out laughing. You see, I'm Yemeni, arab. It worked to break the ice. Made a ton of friends cause the first guys would take me to one place to another to meet their friends and family just for the laugh, "go on then, tell em your name," and I'd say "Jerry McCathy" and they all burst out laughing. Had an awesome time. Irish, they know how to have fun and they so love their music and drinks but they'd crack up laughing again when asked, "so what you want to drink," and I'd respond "tea mate, tea." I don't drink alcohol. It was the highlight of their day and mine too. Good memories.
I *always* crave self-cooked fish and chips when I read this book and watch this movie. I want to make sausages in batter and batter burgers (cooked). Props to Roddy Doyle for the recipe for batter.

Thought it is not moving but ended beautifully. Good movie! Thanks!

Things seemed alot more simple and not rushed like now a days 🇮🇪
Movies always do with their closed sets, actors following scripts and extras under strict instruction from the directors not to mess around.
The good old days
"What d'you want?"
"WURRRLD PEACE!"
"YOU'RE BARRED!"

great movie
Filmed in Kilbarrack as was The Snapper. Such great memories.
This movie is awesome! I love movies like this. Another extremely good one i highly recommend watching is Sweet Sixteen(2002)
Another Irish film, on very similar lines to this one is, The Rat.

To avoid being taken down...
The movie was playing the song Hippy Hippy Shake, and whoever owns the rights to that song might be litigious.

Sadly not a patch on The Snapper or the Commitments.
It was the last time Stephen frears made a film in Ireland and it was the last time roddy doyle made a film with him.
And this movie marks the only time brendan o carroll plays a villain. He is very good in this movie
Very dark performance
I don't agree! Brilliant movie
It was decent enough.
