Top ten Irish movies of all time for St. Patrick's Day - VIDEOS

"The Wind That Shakes the Barley," "Some Mother's Son," "Cal," "Michael Collins"

Another really bad one -- besides "The Quiet Man", of course -- was "Young Cassidy". It was on Turner Classic Movies yesterday and I tuned it in also to see Julie Christie's lips, which she called her worst feature while I call it her best. Rod Taylor playing Sean O'Casey was agonizing. The introduction informed us that John Ford had started that fiasco of a movie, so I could see where the stink began.

'War of the Buttons' one of my favorites.

Who could forget the Craic, with Jimeoin.

What about Flight of the Dubhs. We loved that growing up. They should remake it in HD. Then what about In Bruges. Its very funny. Speaking of Farrell Colin, how about one of his more recent ones, Ondine. It has grand features of the West Coast of Ireland. Apparantly Saving Private Ryan is technically Irish, because its based on a true Story of a Irish American and it was filmed in Ireland around the Curragh. So Game of Thrones would also be good because its to filmed over there. I enjoyed Periers Bounty. I suppose you could call Ned Kelly an Irish movie given he was an Irish Man. Ive said to much as usual. But the Guard was great. IMBD have a top 100 Irish movies with lots of films I did not even know were made. I was suprised where the ones I did know about came in order. There you go. Slainte.

"The Guard"! With Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle!!

What hapened to Jim Sheridan's INTO THE WEST - a positively delightful and definitely IRISH film.

Some kind of honorable mention should go to the Secret of Kells. Have to agree with WoundedKnee - I found the Commitments to be unwatchable.

I'm not sure what qualifies a film to be Irish in order to be considered for this list, but I would include these 2 movies that are very much aboutevents in Ireland: "The Informer" and "Odd Man Out". The 1935 film titled "The Informer" in which Victor mcLaglel played the role of informer Gypo Nolan, and won the Oscar, was nominated for 5 other Academy Awards and won a total of 4 (including best actor). Twelve years later, James Mason played the role of Johnny McQueen - the Odd Man Out- in a robberby by rebels in the North of Ireland. The audience is held in suspense all thru this facinating story until its tragic ending.

The Commitments was a bunch of foulmouthed garbage. Shows you the level of taste of intern Sweeney.

War of The Buttons.

what about Into the West?

The Quiet Man is the WORST movie ever. the scene where he drags Maureen O'Hara (my favourite childhood actress ) across a field? down a hill? can't remember, but it was the worst.

The Quiet Man is the best movie ever.

I second "Wind that Shakes..."Should be in top 5.
