Also recommended is "Hedd Wynn". You can get a copy from Sain Recordiau. I paid an extra 5 pounds to have my copy converted from PAL to NTSC. The audio on my copy is Welsh with English subtitles if you have trouble following it. All English audio versions are available too. Hedd Wynn is the bardic name of a young Welsh farmer who sought to win the chair awarded at the national competition for poets. He was conscripted into the Royal Army and ended up sending his submission from the battlefield in France. I won't spoil the ending for those who wish to watch the movie.

I ordered a strange little gem of a movie on ebay, titled "Happy Now", starring Ioan Gruffudd as a police inspector investigating a murder in a small Welsh town. It's interesting to me as an American to hear the Welsh accents in the film.
