Top 10 Worst Irish Accents on Film

The newly-launched Irish Central website has compiled a list of the top 10 worst Irish accents on film.  So I’m using this to atone for missing an actual post on St. Patrick’s Day.   Call it Catholic guilt.  What’s amusing about the list is that most of the actors on the list have won Oscars, so they are a talented lot. Unfortunately, they did not win the statute for these particular performances, with the exception of Connery in the Untouchables.

1. Sean Connery In Darby O’Gill And The Little People

2. Sean Connery In The Untouchables

3. Kevin Spacey In Ordinary Decent Criminal

4. Tommy Lee Jones In Blown Away

5. Julia Roberts In Michael Collins (No clips, try Netflix)

6. Julia Roberts In Mary Reilly

7. Tom Cruise In Far And Away

8. Brad Pitt In The Devil’s Own

9. Gerard Butler In P.S. I Love You

10. The Leprechaun In Leprechaun
