List Of Films Set In Ireland
'Films set in a country' differ from 'films shot in a country' and a 'film's nationality'. In films set in a country, the story depicts the characters/action situated/located in a said country. While in some films the action is set in multiple countries, in others it is set in one specific country. Some films that are set in a country may not necessarily be shot in that country and/or are not produced from that country. This is a list of films set in Ireland, meaning the films in this list depict their characters as being located in Ireland. While the majority of the films listed are Irish films, others are not, such as ''Hungry Hill'' (1947) (British), '' The Black Sheep'' (1960) (German), ''The Craic'' (1999) (Australian), and '' Hellboy II: The Golden Army'' (2008) (United States). The same applies with, while the majority of films were shot in Ireland, others were not, such as '' The Naked Truth'' (1957) (Irish scene filmed at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom), '' The Lon ...
