This year, I'd like to share a list of some of the Irish movies I've seen and greatly enjoyed. You know every pub will be full up tonight, so you might want to stay home, make a shepherd's pie, drink some Guinness or a cider and enjoy a good story.
I've divided the movies between those that are family friendly and those meant to be viewed by adults. This kind of list is subjective, so I'd recommend checking out imdb if you have any concerns about what may be appropriate for your family.
Family friendly
The Secret of Roan Inish
The Quiet Man
Waking Ned Devine
War of the Buttons
The Secret of the Kells
For more mature viewers
Once
Michael Collins
The Commitments
The Field
In America
The Snapper
The Crying Game
My Left Foot
Of this list, my favorites are The Secret of Roan Inish, Waking Ned Devine, The Quiet Man, and Once.
I'm sure I've forgotten some, and I've not listed any that I have not seen yet. I think I'll try the recent film, Ondine tonight. Feel free to add to this list in the comments.
