Favourite kilted movies...

[McMurdo]

I was thinking about it and to my mind for a comedy you just cant beat

So I married an Axe Murderer

Not really many kilts in it but there is the wedding scene withe the "Pipper Doon"

There was a movie on telly last night called Heartless, it was set in Scotland and featured a LOT of kilted men, even one guy who rides a motorbike kilted!

Ha! Found the Rob Roy film I was talking about! Turns out it was an old Disney film (and by people's reviews, before the big D got cheesy). Had to do a lot of searching, and all I could find was VHS... but hey, I still have a VCR, and some of my favourite movies are still on that format. I may have to do video capture and format to turn it into a DVD... preserve the source material. It seems a shame that this film (along with The Sword and the Rose) seem to be falling into obscurity when they are apparently loved in classic film circles.

Note the lead actor's name: Richard Todd... now, for those of us in the know... Todd is a sept of what? Sorry, had to toss that out there.

Not necessarily a kilted movie, but has the same lead actor:

These two were mentioned together in a amazon.com review.

Richard Todd is a fine actor who played in a number of films, including at least two Scotsmen, the Rev. Dr. Peter Marshall, the orginator of the Kirkin' service, in "A Man Called Peter" and Cpl. "Lachie" Lachlan MacLachlan in "The Hasty Heart" (co-starring some guy named Reagan!) about a piper in Burma during the Second World War. Todd also played Major John Howard of the Oxs and Bucks Regiment at Pegasus Bridge in "The Longest Day" (Hold until relieved, hold until relieved) -- ironically, Todd himself was an officer under Howard's command at Normandy. He also played Guy Gibson, the commander of the RAF Squadron in "The Dam Busters".

Todd was botn in Ireland, if I remember right. He's still alive (born 1919) and recently returned to Normandy for a BBC documentary.

Cheers,

Todd

add tae the list:

Local Hero.... a completely Brill film...

[MacMullen]

Braveheart
Rob Roy
So I Married An Axe Murderer
My Life So Far

Only one surprise in my list, and that is, My Life So Far (which was on another list abive). I never would have watched it except that my sister in law likes somewhat obscure movies and loaned it to us when I acquired my first kilt. Poor grandmother! I always feel bad for her when she drops out of the movie.

"The Hasty Heart" Great Film Has been redone a few times. But The
Version with Todd, Regan and Patricia Neil is my Fav.

[Jimmy the Celt]

Another vote for Highlander! I love that movie . . .
