The worst Irish movies ever made - VIDEOS & POLL

High Spirits was over-the-top, big dumb fun: it was having a laugh sending up the cheesy stereotypes, instead of just using them as a crutch. And it had a few moments of joyful, dead-on skewering of Irishisms too: I still remember almost cracking a rib laughing at the mini-bus driver who was wearing a baseball cap with Chinese characters (in order to look more exotic, you know, to keep with the character of the place...)

The Irish do curse a lot, but F**k all.

the butcher boy was class..frankie brady a disturbed young man in adolscence , caught up in a working class town be , his brain working overtime and surrounded by alchies and grown ups.. agreed the language in the commitments was a lil coarse but the music and plot line was class..outspan and mickah wallace very believable characters in dublin for anyone who grew up there... sometimes irish folk use swears and french words as adjectives, to describe a term or occasion... no need to be offended, its simply entertainment, albeit a lil colorful,,sin e a chairde..johnny vaughan..

No! I loved Darby O'Gill as a child, and I still think, 'The Quiet Man,' is one of the greatest movies of all time.

add finians rainbow,darby o'gill and the little people.

Far and Away was a good movie. My family history relates to this story, which is about Irish come to America to become American. My father ask his mother, who was born in 1870. Why don't we wear green on St Patricks Day? An the wise old Irish woman replied, "Your face is enough." I also like "Leap Year". I think Amy Adams is a wonderful actrist. Forget about quoting the New York Times. This paper has been declining in readership for years. I can't wait for Murdock to buy it out.

I have seen these flicks. Hasent any one made a good Irish Movie sense EVELYN????

Leap Year.I loved the screwy geography. Did anyone writing or filming look at a map?I lusted after the Louis Vuitton. What do you mean, no male lead?

I don't know about the worst movie, but I know that the Irish feel that Brad Pitt had the best Irish accent. My nephew finished his Masters program at the John Huston school of Film in Galway. Being one of only two Irish-Americans in the class, he asked many Irish students who had the best Irish accent, and they all said Brad Pitt n "The Devil's Own." Actually the "Deil's Own" was the nickname of the 88th Foot, the Connaught Rangers in the British army from 1773 until 1924. Maureen O'Sullivan's (ME TARZEN--- YOU JANE!)father served as a captain in the Connaught Rangers in WWI.

There were some really stupid bits though, like going from Wales and ending up in Kerry.

I enjoyed Leap Year but did not like the male lead. Great scenery, photography. Had just been to Ireland so I liked it. Thought Amy Adams was very good. Not deserving of such a harsh rating.

I enjoyed Leap Year. It was good fun. Would have been even better with an Irish male lead, but Matthew Goode actually did a pretty good job.

The Butcher Boy was crap also, not to mention an insult to catholicism - can you imagine the Blessed Mother dropping the "f" bomb - even if it was in a dream scene!Cringeworthy...

I thought High Spirits was a laugh too; just a light film for when your brain doesn't need anything too taxing. I nominate "Eclipse" as the worst Irish film. It has a good cast (Ciaran Hinds & Aidan Quinn) but it was a confused drama with an occasional attempt at being a thriller that failed on all levels.

High Spirits was good fun, although it could just as well have been set in any country with allegedly haunted castles. It made me laugh, so it wasn't all bad. The worst, the Leprechaun movies!
