What films about Ireland would be best to show foreigners?

I would like to show my foreign friends some films about Ireland to show both the country and the accent (different accents if possible). What films would people recommend?

fashonion
Into the West http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104522/plotsummary
War of the Buttons http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111666/

The Last of the high Kings ( I doubt you would find that though) http://www.flixster.com/movie/last-of-the-high-kings
The General http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_(1998_movie)

Anything by Roddy Doyle http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0236486/

These will be great to watch for the different ascents. As for showing off the country, I doubt they would make anyone want to visit.


Please make sure they NEVER watch Far and Away.


Podge and Rodge Tribute Band
Darby O' Gill and the Little People.....
Cinéma vérité at its very best!


ivastupidname
Adam and Paul...


Or maybe the Commitments

Into the West, but only if you can get it with subtitles, as the accent is hard to follow. You might want to introduce them to the story of Oisin and Niamh, and talk to them a little about the Travelling community first.

Also, Cowboys and Angels, set in contemporary Limerick. Great film.

War of the Buttons is a possibility, but it's actually based on a French story, so ....

The Field. Historical fiction.

Michael Collins - brilliant and very sad. Alan Rickman is a PERFECT Eamonn De Valera in it, kudos to the man, he's never disappointed me yet.

The Barrytown Trilogy: The Commitments, The Snapper (probably the best black comedy made in Europe during the 1990s) and The Van. But only if you can get them with subtitles ....

You should show them Rat

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0234570/

It has a variety of accents in it and you should just show it to them anyway.


is mise lisa
war of the buttons
michael collins
the wind that shakes the barley
angela's ashes


froggequene
Intermission, with Colin Farrell & the ever lovely Cillian Murphy, mostly Dublin accents and features the loveliest geansai ever seen as worn by the talented Mr Farrell

Saltwater

I went down

Into the West

The Field

Edit: You could also consider The Butcher Boy & Breakfast on Pluto
