The top ten best Irish movies of all time - VIDEOS

You missed a few. "Collins", "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" and "Da".

With so many great films to choose from (one occasionally feels the Irish OVER represented on screen when one isn't actually there), I was pleased to see ONCE (even better in its stage version) on the list, but HOW could such immortals as THE DEAD, JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK (HITCHCOCK working with the Abbey Theatre cast!) or LOCAL HERO *miss* being there!? I'm also amazed at no mention of DA or either of Briam Friel's masterpieces, PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME! or DANCING AT LUGHNASA!

We all have our favorite. Mine is Roan Innish or The field or is it Crying Game? Or maybe.... If it is Irish I watch it.

Have you ever seen "The Secret of Roan Inish"? If not, you have missed the boat - both the ferry and the curragh! Beautiful film.

Trojan Eddie--Where else do you get to see two great actors, Richard Harris and Stephen Rea go head to head against each other in the underside of Irish Society? No schlock--no appeal to the Green Plastic Derby crowd?

And what happened to the big fella "Michael Collins" ?

"Grapes of Wrath"! Take a grape with a grain of salt. Up the Irish. Beat France!

Whoever reviewed these films obviously is comparing their greatness to "Grape of Wrath". All is not dour! St. Patrick himself smiled once upon a midnight dreary.

A list crippled with the obvious films it contains and the notable films it omits.

I never read these stupid top ten lists on IrishCentral. I broke my rule for this. Now I know why I have the rule. We all have our own top XX lists. Why ten? Fingers or toes, I suppose.

A good list... Also for consideration "American Women" a great romantic comedy about small-time Irish bachelors trying to lure American women to Ireland by placing a personal ad in a Miami newspaper.

Barley...whoops

Wind that Shakes the Barely & Michael "Big Fella" Collins...where are they? bollocks

Great list and as is the case of lists like this, it's successful at inspiring dialogue on what's NOT on it! Bottom line is you can't actually live and breathe and call yourself Irish and NOT see these movies... :)

Who picked these flicks? You left out "Da", "Wind that shakes the barley", "Collins" and "The Informer".
