The worst Irish movies ever made -VIDEOS

The only movie I have seen that is listed is "Leap Year." There were many fallacies in this movie, including the proposal made by women on February 29th...that is known as "Sadie Hawkins Day" in the US and it was also a day when women could ask men to marry them. Having said that, taken in the context of a romantic comedy, I have to say that I adore this movie. I own it on DVD and have watched it many, many times. I enjoy looking at the landscapes that I love so well (and being able to say, "I was there!" on occasion) and I love the great comedy in it.

"The Brillcream Boys" a cross between The Quite Man and The Great Escape.The greatest load of bowel motion ever A 5 year old would write a better fairy tail ,no wonder the world is laughing at our stupidity

Did anyone enjoy Zonad? when I heard the plot I was interested to see it, but sadly disappointed by the film, I would have preferred never to have seen it.

Have to agree with rodgerahara, "Irish Jam" must go on the worst list - stupid story, bad acting, bad accents, and I don't think there are any more 18th century shebeens left in Ireland where the locals all go to drink.

Any list of the worst Irish movies must include The Commitments. 90 minutes of stupidity, inanity and vulgarity. The only smile it raised from me was when I realized it was over.

Don't know how you could leave off "Irish Jam", a terrible movie starring(?) Eddie Griffin about a pub in Ireland being given away to the writer of the best poem, who, in this case, turns out to be an African-American rap artist from Los Angeles. I think it might have been one of those straight to DVD and cable movies. Icky at best!

I'm certainly with you on FAR AND AWAY - at that point in their careers they sent two only mildly talented children to embarrass themselves trying to do adults' work in a film that came close to working but for their sore thumb performances, but I'm with the readers who speak up for the dumb fun (it was a Steve Guttenberg film after all) of HIGH SPIRITS! YES, it is sexist and racist and stereotypical in inexcusable ways, but Liam Neeson is also sexy and hilarious in almost obscene ways and the film is simply too funny to dismiss as the trash it always threatens to be. Like one other reader, I have severe problems with the almost iconic QUIET MAN despite admirable performances by the leads and beautiful cinematography - the glorification of supposedly essential to Irish culture "donnybrooks" is inexcusable to 21st century adults and an insult to CIVILIZED Irish men. IF you're going to defend it however, do at least have a look at the failed 1961 Broadway musical (called, appropriately enough, DONNYBROOK!). The glorious Johnny Burke score almost justifies the silly story and when New York's Irish Rep mounted a revival not too long ago, they *almost* finessed the fighting thing.

Leap Year--they even got the geography of Ireland wrong in this picture.

Both my husband and I loved Leap YEar -- we have watched it twice. It makes us laugh and he always hugs me tight when we watch it. One man's trash is another man's (woman's) treasure.

Haven't seen "High Spirits". As for the one of the worst Irish movie of all time, I nominate "The Quiet Man". Yes, yes, I know maybe the majority of youse liberal omadhauns love(d) it, but I thought it rollicking only in stupidity. On the other hand, if they would do a remake with Amy Adams playing the Maureen O'Hara part, I'd see it even if they got Tom Cruise as male lead again with his miserable excuse for an Irish accent.

I saw all of the films and they are silly..ok trite. The best reason to see any of them is the scenery which makes for some memory recall of travels past.

Never heard of these filims (is that a bad enough Oirish accent?). I think I'll see 2-3 of them. They sound entertaining for late night.

I also love High Spirits and catch it whenever it's on TV, haven't seen the others either, must have read the reviews when they came out.

Well, I LOVED High Spirits, thought it was cute. But I didnt see the others so cant/wont comment on them.
