Top of the mornin’ to you! It may not be St. Patrick’s Day, but it’s never a bad time to watch Leprechaun movies, and we here at Arrow in the Head decided to go back over the whole Leprechaun franchise to rank them from worst to first. The Leprechaun Movies Ranked list can be seen below – check it out and let us know how you would rank the movies!

Leprechaun: Origins (2014)

This is appalling. Director Zach Lipovsky, writer Harris Wilkinson, and WWE Studios were given the chance to make a new Leprechaun movie, they cast a professional wrestler (Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl) as the title character, and then they just churned out a dull monster movie. I don’t know how anyone involved thought this was a good idea (“You know what we should do? Take everything people liked about Leprechaun and remove it!”) or how Leprechaun: Origins made it through production.

This weekend marked another St. Patrick's Day, and to celebrate, writer-director Darren Lynn Bousman took to Twitter to let us all know that he still wants Lionsgate to hand him the keys to a semi-classic horror franchise: Leprechaun. Yeah, true story.

Screenwriter Scott Milam, who worked with Bousman on his remake of Mother's Day, then tweeted this.

"We pitched Lionsgate, remember? I wanted to cast William Shatner...

Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood (2003) Director:Steven Ayromlooi Stars: Warwick Davis, Laz Alonso, Sticky Fingaz The Leprechaun proves that once you go black you never go back. And so this is it. We've reached the end of the Leprechaun franchise. In case you missed it, we've travelled with the little guy on adventures with a young Jennifer Aniston, getting some space action from an alien princess, and rapping with Ice-t in the hood. Supposedly, this sixth film was...

Sometimes hitting the multiplex just isn’t in the cards. That’s when Netflix steps in to provide a movie fix. But how to separate the wheat from the chaff? I’m happy to help; every week I’ll pick a flick from the Netflix Watch Instantly section and see if it’s worth your time. This week? “Love and Other Four Letter Words”.

She’s a busy career woman that has left her past behind so she can blossom in the big city. She’s got everything she’s ever wanted, except love. No, it’s not Sweet Home Alabama, Never Been Kissed or Meet The Browns. This time it’s Love and Other Four Letter Words, and it’s a shadow of the movies that have come before it.

The she in this movie is television talk show host Stormy La Rue (and I’m assuming that’s...
