Re: Movies
I think Braveheart was the most popular movie.

Fun story telling but Gibson's history was a bit *cough* off. Did enjoy "Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle" that was done in Gaelic with English sub-titles."Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thaining thu"

Re: Movies
There are some good documentaries on YouTube that are worth viewing. We posted the other day about the History of Scotland and there are some Scottish Clans deatured.

Re: Movies
"Local Hero" was a delightful piece of work, especially with Mark Knopfler's sound track. Too bad Donald Trump didn't see it!Comment

Re: Movies
Hey, Rick...Because of your recommendation, I purchased a fairly inexpensive copy of LOCAL HERO. It was fun to see Burt Reynolds again, & I certainly loved seeing the Scottish landscapes, & the sea loch, & a lot of the characters. I plan on seeing it again one of these days. Thanks. JoanComment

Re: Movies
Noticed long after posting that above, that I said Burt Reynolds.....NOT Burt Lancaster....extremely HUGE difference!!! Sometimes my fingers just type things in an automatic way!! Sorry. JComment

Re: Movies
Of course it was not all filmed in one location. A couple of years ago I was in Pennan where the 'so-called" phone booth is located Quite a location and if there is lots more rain then perhaps the place may no longer exist...
This is a shot taken in
Hope this photo uploads...Attached FilesComment

That hillside looks ready to fall at any time. Would not like to live nearby.Comment

Re: Movies
Wonder what makes the hill-side so pinkish....is that the color of the soil? I agree that it really looks like it's going to fall at any moment!!! I enjoyed the movie though, but had some problems with "hearing" the dialogue. Maybe the older movies didn't turn up the sound enough, OR, I'm having hearing probs!! I particularly liked the old man Knox, who was living on the beach in "found" stuff from the beach. I do NOT think, that in Scotland, that would be verrrrry warm!! I only visited Scotland in the summer, & it was coolish then. Thanks for all the input. JoanComment
