- The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006) – dark and important. Directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty, and starring Cillian Murphy, Padraic Delaney and Liam Cunningham, The Wind That Shakes the Barley is a very important film on Irish history and the very real events that took place during the War of Independence from 1919 to 1921 and the Irish Civil War from 1922 to 1923.

- Belfast (2021) Writer/director Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical film is an obvious choice for St. Patrick’s Day viewing this year. Set at the beginning of a nearly three-decade-long period of political and ethnic conflict, but viewed from the perspective of a child, the film earned an impressive seven Academy Awards nominations, including Best Picture.
- Once (2007) The musical drama depicts a week in the life of a Dublin street busker (Glen Hansard) and a Czech singer-songwriter (Markéta Irglová). With compelling, naturalistic performances from lead actors who are also real-life musicians, the charming romance set a precedent for a more uniquely modern style of movie musical—the fact that nobody really followed Once’s lead only makes it feel that much more unique (at least until the director’s own Sing Street, which we’ll get to later).
- The Commitments (1991) Stay in Dublin for another cult classic musical, this one a big-hearted comedy about a young music fanatic (Robert Arkins) who dreams of managing a local soul band in the style of the Black American recording artists he loves.
- The Snapper (1993) Another charming slice-of-life from writer Roddy Doyle (from The Commitments), The Snapper deals with the complications for a devout Irish Catholic family (led by Colm Meaney), when outspoken daughter Sharon becomes pregnant following a one-night-stand and refuses to have anything to do with (or even name) the father.
