The worst Irish films of all time
This originated on the forum, as an actual thread about the worst Irish films of all time. Then it took a familiar and rather amusing turn which saw film titles changed to give them added Irishness. Here are some of the best. Got any more?
Glengarry, New Ross – O’Sullivan, B
I Am Legless – Monkeyballs
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe Tone – O’Sullivan, B
Brays of Thunder – Johnny5
D’untouchables – Hooronahonda

Journey to the Centra of the earth – Twenty Major
The Purple Rose of Carlow - divneymathers
Butch Cassidy and the Sundrive Kid – Fill3rup
