Irish film

[edit]

I am looking for the name of an Irish film, where a boy who lives with his mother meets a stranger man and they became friends. You can hear Electric Co. at the beggining of the movie. Miss Bono [zootalk] 17:21, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a guess, but The Runway? --Onorem (talk) 18:38, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot follow the link, but I don't think that's the movie. I forgot saying that the title had the word friend in there. Miss Bono [zootalk] 18:45, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My Friend Joe? It was a British/German/Irish coproduction, was filmed in Germany according to IMDB, but the boy character Chris and his parents were Irish. --Canley (talk) 03:50, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure. Does it have the song at the beginning? The friend wasn't a girl in the movie. Is there any Irish movie named My Best new Friend or something. I remember there was a trial or some kind of meeting in the movie. I think the friend came from another planet or something. Miss Bono [zootalk] 12:43, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is a movie set in Ireland called Circle of Friends. You can also look through a list of movies with friend in the title. NewJerseyLiz Let's Talk 00:06, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Googling [richard sanders leavenworth] yields a number of results. This Google Books link[1] not only has him as an actor in Leavenworth High, but as valedictorian to boot. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots21:39, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Paul McCartney in Across the Universe film

[edit]

I read once in the Spanish Wikipedia that Paul McCartney made a cameo in that film but I didn't see him. Can anyone say which part he appears in? Miss Bono [zootalk] 19:41, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB canvasses this kind of information about as well as anyone does or could, and I'm not seeing that movie in his filmography. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots21:35, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
