Scottish movie accuracy?

[macwilkin]

What else is out there, and how historically accurate is it?

INMHO, that would be Tunes of Glory, starring John Mills and Sir Alec Guiness -- based on the novel of the same name by James Kenneway (he also wrote the screenplay), it is the story of a post-WWII Scottish battalion and one of the most accurate in regards to the Highland regiments -- and many, many kilts, sporrans, bonnets, pipes, whisky, etc. :mrgreen:

It is my all-time favourite movie, bar none.

Cheers,

Todd

I loved Rob Roy and Braveheart.Very good stories. But, they are obviously, dramatisations of the true, historical facts. But, very well done.
Trainspotting. Hmmm....Wasn't Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) in that flick? I don't like movies about drugs and dope. They are pointless, and usually don't have a real story. I tried watching it a few times, but was easily bored. Glad I never spent any money to go see it or rent it.

Whiskey Galore Is a fav of mine

Mrs Brown was great too.

Although how accurate they are I don't know. Historical accuracy has never been a strong point of film makers. It's a film therefore I class it as entertainment not a historical documentary
