In 2007 I worked near Curracloe beach and my boss has a photo with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Really great beach. In local Furlong pub are the more pictures and photos of filming Saving Private Ryan:-)

Great story here - and altho it wasn't a blockbuster of a film, Samuel Fuller's "Big Red One" (1980) also filmed in Ireland. Bottom line, it is about locations, but it's also about the graciousness of the Irish people as to why filmmakers chose your country to shoot in. Slanta!
