    These fun and romantic Irish movies set the perfect mood whether you want a few of the best St. Patrick's Day movies for a girls' night in or for snuggling up with your sweetie on Valentine's Day.

    Kiss me, I'm Irish! 6 romantic St. Patrick's Day movies for sweeties

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! Looking for an easy way to celebrate the holiday? How about planning a romantic Irish movie night in with your sweetie?

    This morning I dressed the girls in green, braided their hair, and sent them off to school so I can get my very first corned beef into the crock pot and bake a loaf of Irish soda bread with raisins.

    I'm having more fun than usual this year now that I know I'm officially 20% Irish thanks to the Ancestry DNA tests we took earlier this year.

    I've got the St. Patrick's Day music streaming and I've got a skip in my step.

    I'm excited that today is a Friday because as soon as the kids are in bed, I'm pouring Tim a pint of Guinness to tempt him to watch one of these romantic St. Patrick's Day movies with me!

    These St. Patrick's Day movies set in Ireland are filled with stunning Irish landscapes and a heart warming romantic plot line.

    8 Romantic Irish Movies for St. Patrick's Day

    These are the perfect St. Patricks' Day movies to watch. These romantic Irish movies are set in Ireland and feature stunning views of the Emerald Isle or have intriguing Irish characters.

    The Quiet Man

    This is the most likely contender. John Wayne? Maureen O'Hara? Yep, pretty sure Tim will agree to this one. Good thing I love it too.

    This classic movie set in Ireland has long been one of our favorites.

    Leap Year

    I watched this years ago on Netflix and was so pleasantly surprised at just how adorable it is.

    This is another romantic movie set in Ireland and always one of my favorites. Can't wait to share it with the girls.

    Brooklyn

    Not quite as upbeat, but such a good movie. This movie starts in Ireland and then moves to New York and is an excellent St. Patrick's Day movie to pick.

    Far and Away

    Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Ireland? Yes, Please. Another romantic Irish movie that starts in Ireland and then moves across the pond.

    Circle of Friends

    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.

    Once

    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!

    Finding You

    An unlikely romance is sparked when an aspiring violinist encounters a heartthrob movie star filming his new fantasy-action film in an Irish coastal village.

    Fisherman's Friends

    While not strictly Irish, the sea shanties the Fisherman's Friends sing in the movie definitely give off the perfect festive vibe.

    Which of these is your favorite St. Patrick's Day movie?? Did I remind you of any you had forgotten?

    Now be sure to head over and grab a recipe for one of our favorite St. Patrick's Day dinners. It's perfect for anyone who's not a fan of corned beef.

      Don't forget Darby O'Gill and the Little People! This is a St Pat's tradition for our family. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&ei=UTF-8&p=darby+o%27gill+and+the+little+people&type=E211US105G91508#id=2&vid=6720a868613a8abe5a5e839579157669&action=click

      Looks like a week of Irish movies for us!

      Can't wait to make your hand-pies but I think I'm going to sub minced roast beef for the ground beef.

      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!

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