A holiday dedicated to, duh, St. Patrick — the patron saint of Ireland who's credited with spreading Christianity to the country in the 5th century — St. Patrick's Day has expanded over the years to be a general celebration of all things Ireland and Irish culture. That means lively parades full of marchers and musicians, cold Guinness flowing from the drafts, plates piled high with corned beef, and cozy pubs soundtracked with trad tunes, but we also suggest you make time to commemorate the day by watching one (or all!) of these perfect-for-St. Paddy's flicks.

10 St. Patrick's Day Movies to Watch on March 17 and Beyond
Where to stream it: Peacock
2. 'The Irish Pub' (2013)
What it's about: Equal parts communal heart and cultural hub, the pub is a vital part of Irish culture any day of the year, but especially during the annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations. And this cheerful documentary from Alex Fegan gives those humble, hallowed rooms their due, with the filmmaker visiting barrooms all over Ireland to get a sense of how said pubs have become the beating hearts of their respective communities. After meeting all of the colorful characters who own and frequent the lively dens featured, you'll want to grab a pint with them, too.
What it's about: Few holidays are as rowdy and rambunctious as St. Patrick's Day. (We blame all that green beer!) Similarly, few Irish bands are as delightfully unruly as Kneecap. Liam Óg "Mo Chara" Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise "Móglaí Bap" Ó Cairealláin and JJ "DJ Próvaí" Ó Dochartaigh—the real-life, Belfast-bred rap trio—star in and soundtrack this high-energy, Irish-language romp. Under the threat of censorship, the lads become unlikely leaders in a movement to preserve their mother tongue. Expect plenty of Irish pride and a punkish attitude.

Where to stream it:Amazon Prime Video (rent for $2.99, buy for $4.99)

6. 'The Boondock Saints' (1999)
Where to stream it:Peacock
What it's about: When you think of Irish music, you might think of a folksy fiddle or a boisterous bagpipe. But in this coming-of-age musical comedy from Once's John Carney, the top-rate tuneage is courtesy the plucky New Wave band that South Dublin teen Conor Lalor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) puts together with his private-school pals to impress an older girl (Lucy Boynton). You'll instantly root for this loveable crew and their starry-eyed dreams, and that infectious synth-pop soundtrack will make you want to kick up an Irish jig.
8. 'The Quiet Man' (1952)
What it's about: It's easy to fall in love with Ireland. (Just look at the sweeping countryside and charming towns!) And it's equally as easy to swoon for this joyful, jaunty 1952 romantic comedy starring John Wayne as Sean "Trooper Thorn" Thornton, a retired Irish-born boxer who returns to his hometown in County Mayo and ends up connecting with fiery redhead Mary Kate Danaher, played by the great Maureen O'Hara. There's palpable chemistry between the leads, stunning Technicolor landscapes everywhere, and plenty of humor and heart throughout — what more do you need on St. Paddy's Day?!
