Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Conor Murphy, this week with special guest Donald Clarke, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT.
This September, we are running a season looking at the films on the Irish Leaving Cert English Curriculum. So this week, Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront.
A down-on-his-luck former prizefighter, Terry Malloy finds himself doing oddjobs for the local union boss Johnny Friendly. When one of these jobs ends with dock worker Joey Doyle thrown to his death before he was due to testify to corruption within the union, Terry begins to question and doubt his involvement. A burgeoning romance with Joey's sister Edie gradually awakens Terry's conscience, throwing him into conflict with everything that he has ever known.
At time of recording, it was ranked 187th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
