Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kiss An Irish Film Star

Watch a Greer Garson movie today in honor of the Irish! Love her.

Or if you don't have one of her Oscar-roles handy, Kiss an Irish Movie Star. There are many too choose from though the Irish men far outnumber the women when it comes to Hollywood success. Pick a pair of lips to smooch or try to guess who they are before you commit to a makeout session.

UPDATE: The answers are after the jump now that you've collectively solved the puzzle.
Congrats to The Film Junkie who guessed the two hardest ones.

Okay here we go...

1. Saoirse Ronan
2. Cillian Murphy
3. Michael Fassbender
4. Peter O'Toole
5. Kenneth Branagh
6. Jessica Chastain
7. Colin Farrell
8. Liam Neeson
9. Chris O'Dowd
10. Daniel Day Lewis

Off the subject of lips but still within the parameter of the post they are showing Irish themed movies all day on TCM. Watching My Wild Irish Rose now, had forgotten what a beautiful voice Dennis Morgan had.

[Dominique]

Yes 3 looks like Bale, but he's Welsh you guys!

I don't know why people think that #3 is Bale though, it's like not even close.

[Mark]

3) is undoubtedly Fassbender.

Lord, that ginger scruff.

[Pat]

Is 6 Sarah Bolger?

[Rebecca]

Also, Christian Bale is Welsh.

I would smooch any of these lovely folks, but good god Fassy at #3.

[Meghan]

My guesses are Cillian Murphy for #2, Michael Fassbender for #3, and Colin Farrell for #7.

[BJT]

I'm going to have a Richard Todd night (Dam Busters and Stage Fright) to cure my Irish cravings this evening.

[Dominique]

Is Anna Friel Irish? I thought she was British. She could be 6...

[Jonny]

Is 6 Kelly MacDonald? Just a guess.

[Jorge Rodrigues]

#6: Anne Hathaway? She's half-Irish...

[Nathaniel R]

nope nope and nope but it is someone current like them.

[Victor S]

from the old Film Experience blog: http://filmexperience.blogspot.com.br/2009/03/kiss-her-shes-irish.html

Contemporary actresses of varying degrees of Irishness that must be kissed today: Kathy Bates, Fiona Shaw, Rose McGowan, Jennifer Connelly, Allyson Hannigan (Willow), Kristen Bell (Veronica), Heather Graham and Janeane Garofalo.

Any of those??

[Ren_din]

6 is Cate Blanchett

[NATHANIEL R]

The puzzle is finally all solved. take a bow FILM JUNKIE for getting the two hardest ones. :)

[thefilmjunkie]

Ha, mystery solved! I've been obsessing over those damn lips for hours. lol

[anna]

I'd actually considered her, but then I thought she simply wasn't Irish enough (compared to the others anyway)... Oh well. Congrats, thefilmjunkie, I never would have thought of Chris O'Dowd.

[Pam]

What? No Pierce Brosnan? He looks like he would be quite a kisser--Thomas Crown Affair, anyone?

N--I love the randomness of your blogs!

[NATHANIEL R]

Pam -- thanks :) that's just how i think.
