Does Saving Private Ryan meet the criteria?
It made in Ireland; in county Wexford.
The 1970 film, Ryan's Daughter, which was made in county Kerry by the famous director, David Lean.
The 1960 film, Sword of Sherwood Forest, starring Richard Greene and James Hayter, that was made in Enniskerry.
The most shocking, by far, is the Magdalelene Sisters, which could almost qualify as a docudrama for its savage depiction of the lives lead by young women in those horrific catholic institutions, the last of which closed in 1996. |

Being made here doesnt count on its own. Needs to be about an irish person or story. |

Hunger
The Wind that Shakes the Barley
The Guard
In Bruges
Good Vibrations
Into the West
I know I've skewed very recent, but IMHO a lot of older Irish films weren't terribly good, once you take nostalgia out of the picture. |

"The Field or The Wind that Shakes the Barley. Two iconic Irish movies!"
Yes the wind that shakes the barley
We enjoy most of the Irish films though even the wild comedy band the slightly strange ones.
Man about Dog is hilarious
The Gard
Garage

Watched the Irish film last nite shot in Boyle Co. Roscommon called ‘Dark Lies the Island’. Pure rubbish. Just couldn’t enjoy it. Watched it on fast forward. I like Tommy Tiernan, but why does he have to appear in every Irish film and drama now.
