I Went Down is the best Irish movie ever made, fact. As of a few years ago there was literally only a shitty VHS rip up on torrent sites, so if you like 'em relatively obscure, that's your boy.

The Commitments is good, too, and if you like The Commitments there's a couple of other Roddy Doyle adaptations (also with Colm Meaney).

>>70017240
It was good, but it hampered itself by trying to be great, imo. And the worst child actor I've ever seen. Loved Dylan Moran in it, though, and Gleeson is always solid, see I Went Down for instance.

>>70017742
>NGHEYE LUVV YEW EILEEEEEN

But seriously yeah, damn good movie. Based Day-Lewis. Solely because of this film, it was common to refer to the mentally handicapped as "christies" when I was a kid.

Big difference between culchie and traveller, boss. Culchies eat porridge, fuck their cousins and go to de dishco on a Friday night. Travellers eat stolen porridge, rape their sisters and steal scrap metal after being refused into de dishco.

Best Irish film no one I know has ever seen is 'Saltwater' (2000) with the legend, Brian Cox and Tomo from Sperm.com

Some of me other favourites. A lot obvious.
Some are merely set in Ireland.

>Into the West
Nostalgia, but it's actually a wonderful film
>The Commitments
An old classic
>The Field
Harris was born to play the role. Amazing.
>Barry Lyndon
One of the greatest films ever.
>My Left Foot
Great. Could've been a load of mawkish shite.
>The Butcher Boy
Liked it more than I thought I would as I think the kid would be annoying.
>Ryan's Daughter
Unreal cinematography. That scene in the storm was worth the year wait Lean took.
>Intermission
It's a bit of fun. Nothing amazing. Colm Meaney is a legend.
>Song of the Sea
Stunning. The Irish Studio Ghibli.

Lenny Abrahamson has set the bar too high for himself with Adam and Paul and I'm skeptical if he'll be able to top that film.
What Richard did got better when the fight went down, Frank felt like a better drama than a comedy. Room is a good film apart from the sound choices (voiceover/music) which rob it of perfection.

In Bruges.

Okay it's not an Irish film per se, however Farrell and Gleeson are fantastic and the movie itself is really fucking good, at times hilarious. And Bruges is so picturesque, not a shithole at all.
