The Molly Maguires(1970) Starring Sean Connery, Richard Harris. A secret Irish mineworker's group is infiltrated by an informer. Based on the true story of striking miners in 1876 Pennsylvania. |
The Quiet Man(1952) Much-loved, acclaimed Hollywood romance about American prizefighter retiring to native Ireland to find a wife. High-spirited dialogue and performances, along with lush photography, make this mandatory for starry-eyed romantics. Starring John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara. |
Ryan's Daughter(1970) Lengthy Hollywood period drama about love triangle in WWI-era Ireland. Got mixed reviews, but liked by fans of picturesque, sweeping melodramas who enjoy overblown dialogue and soap operish storylines. Starring Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles. |
