It seems like some of these movies should be on the 10 worst list. Darby O'Gill & The Quiet (except when he wants to beat up Maureen O'Hara) Man!

What about "In the Name of the Father", " Hunger" and " An Everlasting Piece"? Of course, " Into the West" goes without saying

Check out Some Mother's Son starring Helen Mirren and Fionnula Flanagan. It is a story about the hunger strikers in the Maze. Also, Agnes Brown with Angelic Huston and Marion O'Dwyer

Other than the two fantasy items, this is a way depressing view of Ireland. Try Eat the Peach for character and Excalibur for setting.
