- Waking Ned – Derry Shillitto says The Godfather Part 2 didn’t impact him as much as Waking Ned did because it evokes watching it with his Irish dad and speaks to his own Irish heritage.
- Ali – Derry Shillitto says Will Smith should’ve won an Oscar for his performance in Ali. Again it’s another film whose impact on him is influenced by who he watched it with. In the case of Ali it was with Andrew Olasehinde his best mate at school, who remains his best mate to this day
- Sideways –Derry Shillitto says Sideways is the film that has had the most impact on his life. When he saw it for the first time he was compelled to watch it again immediately after.
