The General, The Guard, Calvery, The Van, Black 47, The Field, Michael Collins, Ryan's Daughter and some other Irish movies should have got a honorable mention in this clip IMO.
I'm mexican, and I like irish movies, this list is good, also In the Name of the Father and Sings Street are some of My favorites

Name of the Father is fantastic. Wind that Shakes is as well. While not an “Irish movie” strictly speaking, I strongly suggest you watch Boondock Saints, and it’s sequel All Saints Day. Many ppl claim the sequel is shite, but I like it.

Considering your roots I would recommend One Man's Hero starring Tom Berenger if you haven't seen it. It's the true story of an Irish immigrant, John Riley, and his followers in the US at the time of the war with Mexico. It's not a true "Irish" film but it is very much about the Irish people and their spirit. What kind of a man is willing to fight and die for another man's country based on his own principles? An Irishman, that's who. Four of my grandchildren are half Irish but I love them anyway.

I will add on 2 Irish movies you should see, one directed by John Carney, who did Once. It’s called Flora and Son (2023) And another great movie called An Cailín Ciúin /The Quiet Girl (2022)

Hi could someone please help me here an Irish movie with true life event this gentleman was it it mother forced to live in slums husband would leave supposed to be away working but he sent no money I remember the pigs head the mum managed to get for a Christmas dinner her son became a postman eventually and caught the consumption as it was called please can anyone tell me the name off this film its for an elderly lady who can't remember the name be greatful for any help ❤
How the heck The Commitments did not make the list???
One of the oldie but goodies my ma turned me onto was “The Quiet Man” starring John Wayne. Brilliant and lighthearted.
The Magdalene Sisters, Waking Ned Devine, Breakfast on Pluto, The Boxer, In America is a far better immigrant story than Brooklyn. There's no shortage of choices.
Into the West, Secret of Roan Inish, Ondine,Darby O’Gill, In America, Belfast, and all the Tomm Moore movies are some of my favorites
One of my favorites is the animation film "Secret of Kells" I also like "Song of the Sea" and "Riverdance" the animated adventure.
the Secret of Kells, The War of the Buttons, The Secret of Roan Inish,

The General, the Field as In the name of the Father's are masterpieces
The wind that shakes the barely, Angela’s ashes, the gaurd, between the canals, the van, the snapper, war of the buttons, into the west, the butcher boy
War of the Buttons was a favourite of ours growing up
We always use to watch Irish movies and we have so many DVDs home in the old 8-track tapes there's nothing like them they're so realistic they bring back memories sit down and watch them and have a nice drink or a nice Irish coffee with two shots of Irish whiskey in it life is worth living 🍀🇨🇮💯🍀👍
"In Bruges" is awesome
One of my favorites is The Nephew. Maybe not an iSight film company, and quite a rough piece but a wonderful story..pierce bro’s an...the funeral song in Gaelic sung by the Nephew had me crying. Great movie!
Angela's Ashes, Micheal Collins, In the Name of the Father, and now the Banshees of Insherin
“Angela’s Ashes” is my favourite Irish movie.

Odd Man Out, hands down. Michael Collins, The Field. All heart wrenching for certain and wonderfully acted.
My faves would be : H3 Some Mother's Son Cal Bloody Sunday In America (I love Paddy Considine) The Wind That Shakes The Barley (I played it in a video store where I was working and during a busy Saturday every customer glued their eyes to the tv when they shot the Brits in the pub).
Into the west!! Gabriel byrne “Why ya talken to the horse?” “Why not?”
These amazing films should be dubbed in the Irish language.

I have a very different list though I have ever only met a handful of Irish people in South Africa. #1 The commitments. #2 Michael Collins. #3 In the Name of the Father #4 The Crying Game
Great films but, you just can’t beat The Field. Fantastic movie.
I'm a big fan of Irish films. The stark reality of them and the gritty nature and the struggle against persecution. Few good films where missed out . Black47. Micheal Collins. Magdelane sister's what happened there then I'm intrigued
Super Duper Coolies 😎 Thank-you for sharing.
"The Outcasts" from 1982, a mystic Film from Robert Wynne--Simmons, is the best irish film!
The wind that shakes the barley is one of my favorite movies it's so powerful
This is all made maybe by Irish for Irish people. But outside Ireland I guess things are rather different. I have asked the past few weeks at least 25 people in Holland what their Irish favourite film is and also 5 in Belgium and abt another 5 in Germany plus a few in various Scandinavian countries. Believe it or not, but RYANS DAUGHTER was in 90-95% of these abt 40 filmlovers THE nr one ! Hardly ever the Irish Landscape was só impressively filmed. In fact it was the reason I went to Ireland the first time and of many of those I asked, it was the same. It also seems that the film becomes more valued since the time passes on. Or is the film not mentioned because film director David Lean was British , like actress Sarah Miles and actor Robert Mitchum was American?(his father was half Irish though) Anyway, the film was 100% made in Ireland though and I remember visiting the location opposite the Blasket Islands (schoolhouse). Ireland's tourism must have benefitted from Ryan's Daughter and the film created many Ireland-lovers all over the world.

Ryan's Daughter definitely belongs on the list. I've also been to the places where it was filmed and the scenery is amazing. The Field, which I just re-watched a few days ago was also missed.

What about the best Irish movie and one of the best movies of all time "In the name of the father".??? There's a lot of great Irish movies that were left out like.. The field, Waking Ned, Michael Collins, Some Mother's Son, The butcher boy.. etc.

why can there be more delightful Irish movies instead of just fighting and down and out times. Just cheerful fullof music and dance and foods andclean romance, clean comedy, and poetry. Instead, shows really do become a self fulfilling prophecy ofpeople
From Iraq 🇮🇶 big fan for the Beautiful Irish accent ❤
There is a sweet little movie the equal of any of these for charm “the boys and girl from the county Clare” and the best and most important Irish film of all time was one of John fords first talkies “the informer” it’s a classic and a lesson in film making.
As an American/Italian one of my all time favorite movies, the classic 1952 film “The Quiet Man” with John Wayne & Maureen O’Hara. The first American feature to be filmed in the beautiful Ireland countryside. Many scenes for the film were actually shot in and around the village of Cong, County Mayo, on the grounds of Cong's Ashford Castle. A funny & romantic story. Winner of two Oscars & Best Director. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6SKj6prgJauodo.html
Obviously there are many superb films that didn't make the list...ten isn't enough to do Irish cinematography justice. For what it's worth I would throw in "A Love Divided", "When Brendan Met Trudy" and the superb horror film "The Hallow"
Calvary, Boondock saints (perhaps not Irish but still), the Field, In the name of the father - awesome films!
I loved all the films mentioned above but many are not listed. One I am looking for "The Lovers of the Lake' Perhaps a TV-Film. I was invited to see the casting in Donegal Ireland, absolutely per chance. It was wonderful. I could tell more but I am writing a story story about it. If anyone finds this film please put it on KZread. I know years later it was shown on Dutch TV by the VPRO.
God , I love the accent !!
2 and 3 are you taking the piss. The Field and the Commitments are fantastic.
I will add on 2 Irish movies you should see to this list One directed by John Carney, who did Once. It’s called Flora and Son (2023) And another great movie called An Cailín Ciúin /The Quiet Girl (2022)
I’m surprised the Magdalene sisters and Angela’s ashes isn’t on the list. Some other great films some I haven’t even seen mentioned in the comments are Mickeybo and me Fifty dead men walking You me and Marley Accelerator The boxer The devils own And my dads favourite Cal
Bollix. The Field? Surely the field should be top 3. Blasphemy. Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 alright!
Monster was so drawn out OMG first hour i was wondering if it was a silent film or irish version of castaway

I'm looking for a movie, the story of it was on ireland not sure if its a Irish movie.. However it is more of a crime, thriller movie.. The movie is about a guy that was wanted by cops, he lived in an abandon looking house with a secret hideaway spot in the board floor, movie may be old.. I think he died in the last part.. But he was a bad guy or gangster.... I really dont remember a lot but it was a crime movie
The Young Offenders is hilarious. One of my favorite movies.

If we are talking about the same movie, the title is "Bloody Sunday". Paul Greengrass directed it. Very similar in style as his later film, "United 93". Both are simply amazing.

"The Guard" Starring Don Cheadle and the great Brendan Gleason. (You should disregard the trailer if you've seen it - Seen out of context, the briefing room scene makes Gleason's character look like a racist doofus along the lines of Sherrif Buford T. Justice, played by his _almost_ namesake Jackie, in Smokey & The Bandit, when he's actually a far deeper and more complex character than the trailer inexplicably makes him appear.) V. funny, smart, underrated movie. A slight stretch here - not strictly speaking 'Irish', but with Irish actors playing Irish characters - Brendan Gleason again stars in 'In Brüges', along with Colin Farrell, this time on the opposite side of the Law, as a couple of sympathetic hitmen in _deep_ need of psychoanalysis sent to Belgium to await instructions on a mysterious contract. Of course people's tastes when it comes to movies - and most especially comedies - are highly individual and subjective. Neither of these are your usual 'Cops'n'Robbers' Dirty Harry - or even 'Lethal Weapon/'Beverly Hills Cop' - type fare, but neither are they the standard 'Oirish' Toora - Loora fodder, be that a good thing or a bad thing, but I heartily recommend you give them a go - Enjoy!

The young offenders should be no.1
1:43 it's set in Dublin city she ain't a small town girl
Not sure I'll get a response, but I have been looking for a movie that Richard Roeper recommended years ago. It was actully 3 films that were released centered around this one corrupt police unit as they investigate the death of a young girl. Lots of cover-ups and stuff. Maybe it was made for t.v. ?
War of the Buttons!
