13 Best Movies To Watch On St Patrick's Day

11. In Bruges

Martin McDonagh's savagely dark comedy is one of the genre's best efforts of the last decade, a totally unique and howlingly funny existential crime thriller with fantastic performances.

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are marvelous as two Irish hitmen hiding from their boss (Ralph Fiennes) in Belgium after a botched hit, but the real winner here is McDonagh's ferociously witty script.

With profound musings on life and death interspersed with occasional bursts of violence, a gorgeous setting and some outrageous one-liners, In Bruges is a rare cult hit to even earn Academy recognition, scoring a Best Original Screenplay nomination.
