The worst Irish movies ever made - VIDEOS & POLL

For Your Consideration: "Gangs of New York". Outside of D.D. Lewis cartoon buffoon,(which felt out of place), the film, to me, was wincingly bad.

Most of them look like a bit of harmless fun. I've seen way worse. Darby O'Gill anyone?

I enjoyed Leap Year.

Without delving too far into the comments, I'm shocked, just shocked that "The Magical Legend Of The Leprechauns" starring Randy Quaid and Roger Daltrey wasn't in the top five (worst five?) .... Horrendous storylines, terrible accents, terrible acting, nothing magical going on here, the producers and screenwriters should be stripped to their nether garments and hung upside down by their heels from the Spire of Dublin for thirty days for bringing forth such a travesty to the world.

It's a load of cods wallop, that's what it is. Some people paid to go see these movies and probably enjoyed them, and could'nt care less what you or the New York Times think, free money for the actors.

Sorry never saw any of them. Let's have reviews of 10 of the best.

I think a great Irish movie could be made about the annual bachelor's festival in Lizdoonvarna.As anyone who has traveled Ireland knows-You always know how many KM's you are from Lizdoonvarna.

I agree with all but "High Spirits." I enjoyed that one so much I watched it twice. Was it in the Academy Award category? Of course not. Take it for what it is, a light comedy that did indeed make fun of stereotyples. I suspect Peter O'Toole, one of my favourite actors, was in need of money to take the script. But no matter, he did a fine job and made me laugh.

The performance by the always-execrable Julia Roberts makes me want to nominate "Michael Collins" for this honor.

Actually, I agree with four of them, but "Leap Year" was a fun movie. It didn't put Ireland back into the dark ages and I saw nothing insulting about it. A naive American woman who wanted to get married heard about the ancient superstition and so decided to act upon it. The pubkeeper who got her from Dingle to Dublin showed, in no uncertain terms, how silly he thought she was (until, of course, he fell in love with her). The older gentlemen who were consistently arguing among themselves about what was and was not "good luck" remind me of the dear old Irishmen in my neighborhood when I was growing up. Now, I'm not saying the movie was good, mind you, just that it was fun and, in my opinion, not at all insulting to Ireland or her people.

What about "The Commitments"? That was the great load of turd I ever spent five bucks on.
