They are all a must see in my opinion. The Departed take place in America, but deals with the Irish mafia/gang, it's very tense movie. It is packed with stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Walhberg and Martin Sheen, and directed by Martin Scorsese. The Commitments is a must see for any music nerd... umm I mean music fan. The Secret of Roan Inish is story told from the perspective of a young girl, Fiona and it involves silkie. Waking Ned Devine is wickedly funny. Circle of Friends is a chick-flick worth seeing. Angela Ashe's is based on the autobiography of Frank McCourt. It's sorta a tradition to watch The Quiet Man on Saint Paddy's Day. The Field is a depressing version of The Quiet Man. I be disappointed if you didn't get to see any of the top 5, I love those movies.

1. The Secret of Roan Inish (1994)
2. The Field (1991)
3. Waking Ned Devine (1998)
4. The Departed (2006)
5. The Commitments (1991)
6. The Quiet Man (1952)
7. Circle of Friends (1995)
8. Angela's Ashes (1999)
