What about In the Name of the Father, or Billy Elliot for something more light-hearted? Or even Far and Away, that movie was fun even if the accents were bad :) I definitely agree with the Commitments, but I reaaaaally didn’t like the Boondock Saints.

Not only was "The Departed" really hard for me to sit through (it just kept going, no matter how much I prayed for it to just end), but it's an Americanized version of a Chinese cop/gangster flick called "Internal Affairs," which came out in 2002. So not only is it not original, it's not even a true Irish-American movie. Additionally, I know that everyone probably has their favorite(s) in terms of movies for St. Patty's Day, but you could've easily replaced "The Departed" and "The Leprechaun" with any of the following (esp. considering they're ALL WAY BETTER movies): The Quiet Man, The Snapper, The Secret of Roan Inish and/or The Brothers McMullen. Again, I know this was purely an opinion piece by the author, but I feel a bit more research or possibly a longer list might have done the topic more justice (or at the very least taking "The Departed" off the list--lol)!
