17 Celtic Classics: A St. Patrick's Day Toast

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
''He threatened to kill my Da!'' Nobody yells with more ferocity than Daniel Day-Lewis, who claimed one of the seven Oscar nominations bestowed on Irish director Jim Sheridan's tense 1993 drama. Falsely convicted in the IRA bombing of an Irish pub, Day-Lewis' Gerry Conlon is coerced into confessing and then struggles both to prove his own innocence and clear his father's name, after the elder Conlon (Pete Postlethwaite) — imprisoned along with his son — dies in jail.
