      10 Best Movies to Stream for St. Patrick's Day, and Where to Find Them

      John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara make an enchanting pair in this 1952 classic about an Irish-born American who returns to the Emerald Isle to take control of his family farm — only to fall in love with fiery redhead O’Hara. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova — who, at the time of filming, were a real-life couple and musical collaborators — are the romantic center of John Carney’s 2007 indie musical, about a street performer and budding musician who form a duo, and fall in love, in present-day Dublin. Saoirse Ronan gives arguably 2015’s finest performance as a young Irish woman who travels solo to New York in 1951, only to discover that she has romantic prospects in both Brooklyn and back home, in John Crowley’s superb immigrant drama.

      What to Stream: ‘Moonlight’ Director Barry Jenkins’s Feature Debut ‘Medicine for Melancholy’

      Before the Oscar-winning Moonlight was a glint in his eye, Barry Jenkins entered the film industry as part of the mumblecore generation with his 2008 debut Medicine for Melancholy. Currently streaming on Netflix and available for download in iTunes, Medicine showcases many of the attributes that made Moonlight such a stunner, including a remarkable sense of place — the streets of San Francisco, as opposed to Jenkins’s hometown of Miami — and a subtle eye toward the nuances of two people looking to connect.

      What to Stream: Before 'Moana,' 'Lilo & Stitch' Brought Disney to the Pacific Islands

      Among the many reasons to love Disney’s newly minted blockbuster hit Moana is that it takes audiences on a deep dive into Polynesian culture, drawing on the music and mythology of the Pacific Islands to craft a grand seafaring adventure for its titular heroine. In 2002, Disney took moviegoers on a Hawaiian vacation via Lilo & Stitch, the delightfully rambunctious — and stealthily heartwrenching — odd-couple comedy about a young girl and her pet alien. Coming on the heels of a string of high-profile disappointments, including Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Return to Never Land, Lilo & Stitch gave the Mouse House a much-needed box office boost, grossing almost $150 million in the U.S. and spawning a franchise of several direct-to-video sequels and a TV series.

      What to Stream: 'The Real Rocky' Looks at Life of Sylvester Stallone's Inspiration–Turned–Foe Chuck Wepner

      The 2011 documentary The Real Rocky (now on iTunes) is an excellent primer on the fighter and his battle with Rocky’s writer-star Sylvester Stallone. Directed by Jeff Feuerzeig (who’s also behind this year’s excellent doc Author: The JT LeRoy Story), the film looks at the life and career of Wepner, the Bayonne, New Jersey, boxer Stallone often referenced when talking about the creation of his most iconic character, Rocky Balboa. Stallone later said that the fight became a loose inspiration for the Rocky screenplay, Stallone’s tale of a working-class Philly brawler who gets a title shot against the charismatic champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).
