Looking for good leprechaun/fairie/Irish Mythology movies

[Vakanai]

I remember a few old movies I used to watch as a kid featuring leprechauns. Can't remember any of them, though there's a famous one with forced perspective (something like Mr. Darby and the Little People I think?). And that got me to thinking, there's not a whole lot of movies based on Irish myth and folklore. If anyone can name some please do.

The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns

I want me gold.

That cover is just blatantly lying.

[marshal99]

Well , there are people who like those movies so who knows ? They might consider it as "great".

Darby o'Gill and the little people.....

I guess Halloween III: Season of the Witch and Trick 'r Treat.

There was a terrible disney movie called "The Luck of the Irish".

The best I've ever seen is an amazing animated film called The Secret of Kells.

Secret of Kells is a great one for Irish/Celtic folklore & art. It's gorgeous to look at. It's got a lot of Christian-type stuff, the trappings of it anyway, though not heavy-handed (it's more about the illuminated texts than Bible stories & preaching and certainly no 'God vs Pagan' stuff) and features some awesomely-terrifying, highly-stylized Viking invaders... sadly, they still have horned helmets :(

That was the one. Loved that as a kid.

Not sure Legend counts as Irish-y.

I actually liked that for a Disney Channel movie.
Which isn't saying much.

Never heard of this one, what's it about?

And it may be inaccurate, but I love the horned helmeted vikings.

That movie was horrible, it was like a really bad remake of Princess Mononoke.

I completely disagree. I don't think it is all that similar to Mononoke at all, and I don't see how it could be described as either really bad or horrible.

Well, considering you said it was one of the best and he said it was horrible, i got that you completly disagreed :-).

I hated The Secret of Kells.

I liked Princess Mononoke.
