Best Irish movies of all time

"The Boxer" with Daniel Day Lewis and Emily Watson, even though they're a wee bit old for the parts.

what about "shake hands with the devil starring james cagney ,a story about the IRA and filmed entirely in ireland ,a wonderful movie,and "Raggedy Boy" a movie about the abuse of young boys by priests , hard to watch but an important film and on a lighter note a romantic comedy "Leap Year" enjoyable

I also like War of the Buttons, and Hunger

Dancing At Lughnasa, This Is My Father, both terrific!!

Would like to see "War of the Buttons" on the list. Was a very enjoyable movie. Just finished watching " The Field" with Richard Harris. Excellent !!!!!

The "Quiet Man" is a classic of course, I believe the fight scene is the longest on film. The last scene in "Waking Ned Devine", could never be duplicated!! I've read all Maeve Binchey's books, so I liked "Circle of Friends" with Minnie Driver and Chris O'Donnell. "Da" was a good movie, although sad. I rented it for my "Da" about a year before he died. Can't forget "Finian's Rainbow", which didn't seem real, but was entertaining. "How are things in Gloccamorra"??

What about "A Man of No Importance"....any movie with Albert Finney starring in it is worth a box of popcorn...

dimdimob The Quiet Man, John Ford's masterpiece, the only Republic film ever made in technicolour or out side the US. Ford, an Irish-American bought the movie rights in 1933, for $300. The Informer made I believe in the '30s also a master-piece. Fine choices both!

Gracias for the info on the Best Irish movies, I have seen atleast 2 and I will look to see if I can find the others and watch 'em. Any other recommendations?

The Quiet Man, no doubt. Also how many people have ever seen The Informer? A good choice.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley should be here. Who made this list?

I'd also suggest "The Boys & Girl From County Clare. Love Irish movies.

These are all such great movies. I heard about a movie coming out called White Irish Drinkers about an Irish family in the 70s. I love the trailer, it looks really intense. http://www.whiteirishdrinkersthemovie.com/

I own four of these so I totally agree. :-)

I thought "Intermission" was so full of foul language and casual sex that I couldn't finish watching it. The resto the list I've seen and enjoyed although the violence in some was kind of hard to take.
