The Flight of The Doves (1971) is on RTE now.

By jaysis its bad.

amdublin

Apparently you don't have to be Irish to be Irish.

Just live a little more, just love a little more, just smile and sing a bit more. That's what it takes to be oirish.

ballsymchugh

just saw the about 20 seconds at the start. a couple of lads trot into town on their horses and tie them up outside the shop, beside a few of those new fangled motorcars. that was enough. now it's on to skangers fighting on sky.

You need Into The Wesht to show you how to be Oirish...."don' leave me Tayto!"

amdublin

It's kind of like a 1970's Into The West.

The Princess Bride

"Far And Away" with that nutter Tom Cruise is widely recognised as the worst Irish accents EVER!

The laugh is that the bulk of the actors in it are English ! Ron Moody and Jack Wild were both in Oliver! the musical. Ah be jaysus, there's Benji Riordan !

Mickey Rourke takes some beating for a Northern Irish accent. He can't say "Father". He pronouces it "Faaar"

Well now I wouldn't be one for gossip but I believe the third daughter is causing them no end of trouble....I wouldn't be surprised if she goes off and visits with a relative in Dublin for a couple of months if you catch my drift now Nodin.

They appeared on Top of the pops performing "A bunch of thyme" or something, dressed in gear that words don't do justice to. It caused national uproar at the time. And rightly so, I might add. I can't find pics at the mo.

Indeed ,it was a different Dublin back then ,no mass of tourists in temple bar and you could still get a bar stool in the Aul Dubliner pub

I once saw a blog post about the greatest Irish films ever. One of the films listed was Leprechaun. This was a film about an evil leprechaun that went around killing everyone and it starred Jennifer Aniston.

It doesn't get any more Irish than Rachel from Friends being hunted by a psychotic leprechaun. It makes me feel all patriotic just thinking about it.

Kevin Duffy

Anyone know where that ruined castle is?

Great series of films. Featuring the English actor Warwick Davis. Ran to several sequels. My favourite is Lep In Da Hood (Leprechaun 5). Check out his rapping.
The WORST Irish accent of them all, and the worst rapper of all time

It's where the actors had to go for treatment to restore their dignity and accents.
