Oy! I can't believe Indian Maiden beat me to "Quiet Man," a classic John Ford movie about an American in a small Irish town!. also try "Waking Ned Divine!." Or try any of these John Ford Cavalry films as they all have a strong Irish identity due to the large number of Irish immigrants who joined the Army:

1) "Fort Apache"
2) "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon"
3) "Rio Grande"

In the above, (1) check out Ward Bond's character, and (1-3) especially Victor McLaglen's characterWww@QuestionHome@Com

FIRST- talk to your unit commander, and ask him if he wants you to have an Irish accent!.!.!. The answer is probably "Only if it is a good one"!. Trying to fake an accent and getting it wrong is worse than not having one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would suggest that you listen to some Irish music (Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem) and try to match the way they say words!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Quiet Man, as suggested, or the more recent Angela's Ashes !.!.!. both have lots of genuine Irish accents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

watch The Quiet Man!. Funny old movie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
