What are some of the best Irish movies?

Well, that is a decision that is not easy, and we are all in this together. I wanted to put together a list of famous Irish movies that you can enjoy during this difficult time. 

I am still currently stranded on the Cook Islands but making the most of this time here and enjoying it as best I can! 

These Irish movies are not in any particular order but you can see my top 10 Irish movies list here. 

Now once again these are not ranked in any order! I haven’t seen them all but I guess now is a good time to get watching. If you are curious about any of the movies I would suggest simply googling “Movie name trailer”

Keep in mind some you will find a combination of politics, love, struggle, hardship and life lessons in the movies. 

They nearly all have a good message to share and a lot of them are very well done. So don’t let the trailers put you off.
