The Top 20 Irish Films Of The Decade

Many of these films could have made the Top 50 but we decided to separate them to shine a little spotlight on Irish cinema in the past decade. The usual debates over what constitutes an Irish film have been set aside in the interests of inclusiveness.

1. Bloody Sunday *
2. Adam & Paul
3. Once
4. In Bruges
5. Garage
6. Hunger
7. Eden
8. Intermission
9. The Magdalene Sisters
10. Breakfast on Pluto
11. The Wind That Shakes The Barley
12. The Halo Effect
13. MickeyBo and Me
14. Disco Pigs
15. In America
16. Inside I'm Dancing
17. Kisses
18. Kings
19. Omagh
20. A Film With Me In It (seriously flawed but sufficiently inspired to creep into
the list - plus, there's a serious lack of Irish comedies in the past decade. Odd considering it used to be our bread and butter - honourable mentions in this regard go to Man About Dog and When Brendan Met Trudy).

* We still hate James Nesbitt
