The worst Irish films of all time
Posted on | January 26, 2009 | 173 Comments
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
Raging Bullocks – O’Sullivan, B
Before Devalera knows you’re dead – Twenty Major
Spar Wars – O’Sullivan, B
Journey to the Centra of the earth – Twenty Major
The Purple Rose of Carlow - divneymathers
Butch Cassidy and the Sundrive Kid – Fill3rup
Tuam Raider – Hooronahonda
Transfarmers – O’Sullivan, B
Jesus Christchurch Super Spar – Fill3rup
The Grapes of Rathnew – Butch Cavendish
Every which way but Luas – Hooronahonda
A View to Achill – Butch Cavendish
