This lowbrow military spoof stars Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall, both from Blue Collar Comedy. Appearing with this pair is DJ Qualls. In Delta Farce, Larry (Larry the Cable Guy), Bill (Bill Engvall) and Everett (DJ Qualls) are dimwitted buddies in the Army reserves. The hapless trio is put aboard an Iraq-bound cargo aircraft, where they crawl inside a vehicle and fall asleep. When the plane runs into a storm, the vehicle is parachuted to the ground. At first the guys believe they've landed in Iraq, but it turns out they're in Mexico, and they defend a village against bandits.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley DVD
Length: 127 minutes
MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, this is a human drama set against a bloody historical backdrop. The film was directed by Ken Loach and stars Cillian Murphy. In the 1920s, a young doctor (Murphy) joins the Irish Republican Army and insists that Ireland must be totally independent from Britain. His uncompromising position on this issue eventually puts him at odds with his brother (Padraic Delaney), who reluctantly concludes that as a practical matter, Ireland must settle for only partial independence. This leaves the brothers on opposite sides of the Irish Civil War.
