Best Irish movies?

>he thinks sinn fein aren't drafting identical legislation as we speak

there really aren't many worth watching
Barry Lyndon isn't Irish made but captures the Irish spirit incredibly well

>>213057568
This is true.

Waking Ned Devine

halal daddy

The Guard
Banshees
Cavalry
Fifty Dead Men Walking
Sing Street
In the Name of Our Father
The Boxer
Belfast
'71
Divorcing Jack
Grabbers
I Went Down

Just off the top of my head, last one is especially underrated

>>213058288
Whoops meant to write Calvary, my bad. Also forgot to add The Butcher Boy which is also great

This movie would have been better if at the end someone had had enough respect for the pig farmer to tell him that the whore's kid wasn't his.

>>213058373
This movie is so fuckin good, but I dunno if you can really claim it as an "Irish movie" just because of based Hansard

Also Paul Mescal has to be the worst Irish actor to actually make it big. What a fucking hack

>>213058577
>I dunno if you can really claim it as an "Irish movie" just because of based Hansard
can you claim it as an irish movie because of the irish director/writer and irish funding and it being filmed in dublin?

Michael Collins is a great film. Maybe some embellishments but what biopic doesn't.

>>213057511 (OP)

The Departed
Gangs of New York
Miller's Crossing
Braveheart

>>213057568
>there really aren't many worth watching
Their quality to quantity ratio is pretty good though.

>>213058288
you got it right in one. fuckin hilarious film

It's a yank-bong-mick co production but the director is Irish so I'm counting it. Comfy Halloween kino.

I am entitled to an irish wife

Try The Field. You have to understand that it's not going to be blockbuster Michael Collins sort of deal, it came from a play and in some ways it's a bit garbage (using term ironically), but interesting.

I remember liking Angela's Ashes

>>213057511 (OP)
Sarah Gadon's upcoming film The Lightkeeper

>>213057511 (OP)

>>213057511 (OP)
Angela's Ashes

>>213058856
>Braveheart

>>213057511 (OP)
Divorce Jack

>>213058700
huh I just looked it up and you're right... I remember it being filmed here like 20 years ago but for some reason I had it in my head that both characters were supposed to be immigrant musicians in a foreign country, turns out that's just the czech chick...
Guess it's time for a rewatch

I haven't watched in over 15yrs but I recall The Butcher Boy being really fucking weird.

Boondock Saints
Boondock Saints 2

So what's the difference between Irish and Scottish?

>>213061665
scottish people like slightly more vinegar in their chips

>>213057511 (OP)
Braveheart (yes it's about Scotland but was made mostly in Ireland with many Irish actors)

>>213057511 (OP)
The Quiet Girl

>>213062533
There are also Irish Celts that help the Scots in the last two battles.

>>213062533
Dude... Mel is an Aussie you dumbass

>>213061665
Irish = funny and sometimes angry
Scottish = depressed and always angry
Both live in the rain

>>213063252
amerocan-born and of irish descent

>>213063252
lol Mel is half-Irish and his other half is Irish-American you retarded cunt. And I wasn't even talking about him. I meant Brendan Gleeson and Patrick McGoohan and all the Irish reserve soldiers who did the battles. What's it's like being this wrong?

Best Irish actors?

I think not putting Brendan Gleeson as number 1 is probably a pretty telling sign of your tastes. Similarly, ranking Daniel Day Lewis as number 1 or not having him in your top 10 at all tells me everything I need to know about you.

>>213057511 (OP)
Dubs checked.

The Commitments (the one about the 60s-style rock band)

>>213057835
I love this movie

The wind that shakes the barley

>>213057511 (OP)
Has this not been posted? It's scumkino. Think it up on YouTube

>>213057511 (OP)
Michael Collins if only for the scene where they BTFO the Cairo Gang

>>213064278
Brendan Gleeson's a bit overrated. It's actually Colm Meaney

>>213065981
Great in DS9 but you just can't top Brendan's story of being a teacher and pursuing acting late etc... it's criminal he hasn't got an Oscar

It's easy to say who are some of the people that did the WORST Irish accents in film (ahem Tommy Lee Jones... cough David Boreanaz.... sputter Emily Blunt) but who are some of the people who did the BEST Irish accents?
>Hardmode: no DDL

I think my vote would either go to Charlie Cox in Kin or Jim Sturgess in 50 dead men

>>213066965
His son's not bad either, actually

>>213067355
which one

>>213067016
Though the voice actor who provided the dubbing isn’t listed in the credits, Adolfo Celi’s (more well known for portraying bad guy in James Bond Thunderball) Irish general has a memorable brogue to me.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4dXHhCos6_c&pp=ygUTa2luZyBvZiBoZWFydHMgMTk2Ng%3D%3D

I wish the voice actors were listed because Alan Bates is the only British actually voicing himself. The rest were all Italians voice over with VAs.

Trainspotting

>>213067016
People dunked on him a bit but I actually thought Jared Harris was extremely convincing in Bejamin Button. Probably helps that he's actually Irish

Why do people in Ireland get so incredibly angry when Americans talk about their Irish heritage? The concept of "Irish-Americans" makes them seethe.

>>213068782
>NOOOOOOO IRISH AMERICANS ARE NOT IRISH BUT THE SOMALIAN RAPE GANG THAT JUST TRAFFICKED MY DAUGHTER IS HECKIN WHOLESOME AND BASED

>>213068782
Who honestly wants to be associated with the yanks? Abominable
Irish are amongst the masterraces, like the Dutch and a few of the scandis

>>213064278
I don't have him in my top 10 because he's not actually Irish

>>213068954
Eh, if you've got the passport it's a it hard to gatekeep. Funny you posted picrel because Australians are some of the only people who think this way, I assume because of the large Asian population? But not sure

>>213067376
Dumb Hall

>>213061665
There isn't. Scottish are just Irish who colonised Britain.

>>213068782
Because you portray a grotesque cartoon version of Ireland that has no connection with reality.
It's like if America had a diaspora that thought being American was about wearing stars and drinking Bud Light.
