Irish Themed Movies

[eddysnake]

With St. Paddy's Day not far away, what Irish themed movies do you enjoy watching around this time? The month of March usually brings in a variety of the following, but I'm always looking for some new movies...

The Field
The Snapper
The General
Michael Collins
In America
Darby O'Gill
Boondock Saints
Secret of Roan Inish
Once
Bloody Sunday

What do you watch?

edit: how could I forget The Quiet Man

The Wind that Shakes the Barley is definitely work a look if you haven't seen it! much better than Michael Collins IMO.

One of the more amusing John Wayne efforts - probably not real popular with members of the women's movement nowadays.

The review just posted for Hunger sounded pretty good... or how about The Devils Own?

What about A Prayer for the Dying (1987)? A pretty decent film from Mickey Rourke before he went completely off the rails.

Martin Fallon is an IRA bomber who tries to blow up a troop truck but instead kills a bus load of school children. He loses heart and quits the movement and goes to London trying to leave the U.K. and start a new life. The IRA wants him back (he knows too much) and the local crime boss, Meehan, will only help him if he performs one last hit, on a rival crime boss. When Fallon does perform the hit, he is seen by a catholic priest. He refuses to kill an innocent again and must find a way to escape the police without killing the priest who can identify him.
