Year: 1993
Director: Mike Newell
Plot: Mike Newell directs Jim Sheridan's screenplay (based on a story by Tim Palmer) in this enchanting and magical modern-day fairy tale. Gabriel Byrne plays Papa Reilly, a widower who lives with his two young sons, Ossie (Ciaran Fitzgerald) and Tito (Ruaidhri Conroy), in the slums of Dublin. There seems to be no hope for their bleak existence until the children's grandfather (David Kelly) arrives. Accompanying him is a beautiful and imposing white stallion named Tir na nOg, a magical creature from ancient Irish legends. The stallion takes a shine to the boys and they love the horse in return. But a legion of corrupt police plot to impound the horse for the purpose of selling it to a rich businessman. Ossie and Tito sneak off to rescue Tir na nOg. Grabbing the stallion, they get their father and, as the police chase after them, they make their way west. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Body: This movie is mysterious, mythical, and magical. The majestic white stallion leads the two young brothers and their Papa back into the past to resurrect memories of their dead mother and then to allow them to "let her go." The stallion's role in the movie is what kept me wondering. Papa says at one point, "Why is that stallion always leading us to places where we've been?" I love this movie. The boys are wonderful! From the slums of Dublin to the wondrous Irish countryside, the film captured my rapt attention.
