my main takeaway is that now I want to rewatch In the Name of the Father.

[doriiansz]

I haven't seen it. I also haven't seen My Left Foot and The Last of the Mohicans either.

I’m very meh on Last of the Mohicans but it does have a banger score and at some point DDL tells some dudes to “go north then turn to the left” when they ask him to guide them west lol.

[hannahstarr]

The score is by far the best part of Last of the Mohicans.

[nutmegdealer]

my left foot is good. last of the mohicans has an awesome soundtrack and eric schweig at his peak.

[shahrazade_bard]

The soundtrack and Eric Schweig are pretty much my sole reasons for each and every LotM rewatch I've ever done.

I really liked The Last of the Mohicans and In The Name of the Father but they’re both heavy films.

Just coming in to add TLOTM has an iconic soundtrack. And I love that movie because my sister loves that movie so I watched it a lot as a kid lol

I was obsessed with Last of the Mohicans when I was 14. The score is absolute magic.

In the Name of the Father is simply sublime. It's a perfect movie. The scenes with DDL and Pete Postlethwaite (playing DDL character's father) are riveting. Bonus points for an awesome soundtrack!

I think I have to rewatch it tonight.
