Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Ireland? Yes, Please. Another romantic Irish movie that starts in Ireland and then moves across the pond.
Oh did I have an enormous crush on Chris O'Donnell in my teen years! I'm laughing this morning because it looks like it isn't even available for renting, but you can still snag the DVD. I think I have an old VHS copy around here somewhere! The Irish accents in this movie are my favorite.
This is on my list to watch this year. "Once is the inspirational tale of two kindred spirits who find each other on the bustling streets of Dublin. One is a street musician who lacks the confidence to perform his own songs." Sounds adorable, romantic, and perfect!

These are awesome! I know it’s not on the list and it’s kind of obscure but, The magical legend of the leprechauns is one of my favorites. It was a mini series first but you can watch the whole thing online. I remember getting the movie on vhs tape when I was like 7 from block busters as a kid. I was obsessed!
Tiffany Dahle
What a fun suggestion! Thanks so much for sharing, Emma.

I have not watched these movie except Brave. Thank you for the list! I will rewatched Brave with my kids.

Except that Brave is set in Scotland not Ireland. That's like putting a movie set in Canada on an Independence Day movie list. ?
