The one that comes to my mind is the 1952 classic "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara.

The movie "In America" is about an Irish family that moves to New York City to launch the father's acting career. They live in poverty and face many challenges. It's stars Samantha Morton and Paddy Considine. It's an interesting movie that was nominated for best original screenplay.

By Irish main charachters do you mean people of Iris ethnicity or actors that are playing Irish charachters?
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are great in Far and Away.
(Tom Cruise prior to becoming loco).
Angela's Ashes is good too.
As for statting Irish actors....
Schindler's List stars Liam Niesen (from Ireland), and well, it's one of the best movies of our time.

"The Brothers McMullen" is an awesome indie film about three Irish-American brothers. It's one of Ed Burns' first films. I also loved "In The Name Of The Father", which stars the ever so sexy Daniel Day-Lewis. It tells the story of the Guilford Four and how they were falsely accused in an IRA bombing.
