What movie says ‘Ireland’ to you? Or St. Patty’s Day?
Miami University Hamilton has its Taste of Ireland event happening on Wednesday, March 17 (of course) and one of the activities there will be a showing of a movie that depicts Irish culture.
Last year the movie was John Sayles’ The Secret of Roan Inish, about the legendary selkies - seals that can shed their skins to become human. This year it might be Evelyn, a Pierce Brosnan melodrama about a man’s fight against the Irish courts to be reunited with his children.
So what movie says Ireland most to you? One of the first movies that springs to my mind is John Ford’s The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, with Irish brogues running thick and fast.
So what movie would you watch to observe St. Patrick’s Day? What titles Irish-spring to mind?
