Where to Watch The Commitments
- HairyPlexiclesAugust 19, 2025One of the best films ever. i've seen it so many times throughout my life that i pretty much know the dialogue verbatim. There are so many great performances, but the music is where this shines, and qualifies as a modern masterpiece.. So many of the scenes have become iconic (and part of my 'culture'), but standout moments include the lad with the horse in the lift ("the stairs would kill him!"), and my personal favourite: "Lads, you're looking at the Commitment-ettes!"..... "The Commitment-tits you mean!" Just beautiful.
