For those of you not versed in the Welsh language, that means “Happy Saint David’s Day” – yes, today is the day of St David, the Welsh patron saint, and, fittingly, one of the top trends on Twitter today was #WelshFilmClub, which was a feed full of people posting the Welsh versions of famous films. Some of them were a bit hit and miss (the ones with phrases like “where to” and stuff kinda went over my head, we have a more sophisticated Welsh up here in the north and don’t use such phrases), but a lot were hilarious. Here is a selection of my favourites 🙂
- Who Killed Roger Rarebit?
- The Lamb Shank Redemption
- Dai Hard
- Live and Let Dai
- Star Wars: Attack of the Jones
- Get Him To The Leek
- Gwladiator
- Rhyl Bill
- Dude, Where’s My Cardiff?
- Chitty Chitty Bang Bangor
- A Fish Named Rhondda
- BreCon Air
- Caerphillydelphia
- Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwyllsantysiliogogogone With The Wind
- Dial M for Merthyr
- Black Swansea
- Farmergeddon
- P.S. I Love Ewe
- The Wizard of Oswestry
- Treforest Gump
And, one of my personal favourites, “Cwtch Me If You Can” 😀 so, wear your leek and your daffodil with pride and belt out “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau” (that’s the Welsh national anthem), and have a happy St. David’s Day!
