Your All Time Favorite Scottish Movie

**MacMillan of Rathdown** · 15th January 08, 08:21 PM

WHAT IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVORITE SCOTTISH MOVIE? Lots to choose from here-- Tunes of Glory, Rob Roy, Tight Little Island, The 39 Steps... the choice is almost endless. So, what's your favorite, and why? My least favorite is Country Dance staring Peter O'Toole. It is simply DREADFUL!

Tunes of Glory, hands down. The attention to detail, the faithfulness to the book (the author was one of the writers of the screenplay) and the acting was first rate.

It is not only my all-time favourite Scottish movie, but my all-time favourite movie, period.

Regards,

Todd

I'm with Todd. I can watch this movie over and over again. I've worn out the VHS and am working on wearing out the DVD. The book is excellent too.
There have been lots of other good movies mentioned as well. "I Know Where I'm Going" is on my list to see; I've heard of it but never seen it.

That gets my vote as well. I even have it on DVD so I can watch it over.

This would've made a great poll question!!

My favorite is Rob Roy with Tunes of Glory and Trainspotting in a close second. My least favorite is Brigadoon, or as I call it, Brigadon't.

Possibly the only one word review of a movie in the history of film! I love it!

I admit it; I'm a plebeian; Braveheart is #1 Scottish, 2nd all time favorite.

Roby Roy without a doubt.
