The Quiet Man

How many people here have a tradition of watching "The Quiet Man" on St. Patrick's Day? I know lots watch "Darby O'Gill and the Little People", too, but I was surprised to discover that lots of people I know watch "The Quiet Man". It's such a funny movie! It wouldn't be so funny if they made it now, because a lot of the humor is chauvanist, but given that it was made in a different time period I don't typically hold people to quite the current standard. The best is the whole fact that they have John Wayne with his western drawl trying to act like he was Irish! Too funny! I don't think they meant that part to be funny, though.

I don't celebrate St. Pats day and I've never heard of that movie, sorry!

"The Quiet Man" added to the list of items to rent ......

Never seen it, but I could sense a new tradition in the making! Thanks!

I LOVE "THE QUIET MAN"...lmao...I dont even like John Whayne but i could totally watch that movie a million times...The hour long fight scene between him and the Brother in law is the funniest fight scene ever......lmao
Oh and I own Darby O'gill and the little people..a young Sean Connery (Yummy!)
Yeah i am only 24 but i love all those old movies....lmao

Thank you for mentioning this. I had never heard of this tradition, but am now quite interested to check it out!

I usually watch it and I suppose it's around St. Pat's Day because it would make sense that it's on around this time of year. . I'm not a John Wayne fan, but I like this movie.

I don't know why I don't see Brigadoon around St. Pat's Day. I did see on TCM last month, though I guess I've had my fix for a year.

I just remembered Brigadoon is in Scotland Maybe that's why
