Ellen B. of White Bear Lake shakes things up with a movie list. According to Ellen, "No reason for this list – except that I LOVE those British Isles accents."
My Top Ten Movies with a Scottish or Irish Accent:
Dear Frankie [1]. Starring Gerard Butler. Sweet, touching.
Mrs. Brown [2]. Starring Billy Connolly. Connolly shines as Queen Victoria’s guide and groom in this historical drama.
Merry Gentleman [3]. Starring Kelly MacDonald. Michael Keaton directs and stars – a quiet, character study of a film.
Chicken Run [4]. For Wallace and Gromit fans.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade [5]. Starring Sean Connery. Come on… it’s Indy!
Waking Ned Devine [6]. Divine little comedy set in Ireland.
Once [7]. Starring Glen Hansard.
Wind that Shakes the Barley [9]. Starring Cillian Murphy. Historical drama about the anti-Brit rebellion in Ireland in the early 20th century.
In the Name of the Father [10]. Starring Daniel Day Lewis.
