I watched Mrs Brown this week end and it was a Great Movie ,and Bonnie Scotland was Great and funny too. I also found ( Road to Bali ) with Bob Hope and it is funny -Bob Hope and Bing Cosby in Kilts.

And to add to Glen's post, Tunes of Glory's screenplay and the novel it was based on was written by a Scot, James Kennaway.

Haven't seen it for a while but I recall a scene or two in Man Who Would be King had a kilted regiment guarding the Kyber Pass. Don't think it showed Sean Connery wearing a kilt, though.

I watched a great little Scottish movie last night called My Life So Far, starring Colin Firth. It is a coming-of-age story about a small boy living on an estate in the Highlands post-WWI. Colin Firth plays his father, who is a rather odd but affable character and an inventor of highly improbable things. It is based on a true story, and I would love to hear from those in Scotland who may know more about this story and it's characters.

This is a great slice-of-life film, with humor, pathos and great cinematography. It reminds me of a combination of Monarch of the Glen and Upstairs/Downstairs. Not a movie for children.

I was just planning a 3 day weekend of Scottish movie watching.
and wanted some ideas .

I was wondering -does any of these movies or any movie show Men in daywear ? it would be cool to see a movie about Highland games and everything that goes with it

Made of Honor has a bit of games, but be warned, it's a total chick flick.

Shrek forever After: kilted fiona.

Awesome thank you all , I am finding more and more Movie with a Scottish Theme and I Love it. I am tring to watch them all as time allows.

The ORIGINAL Wicker Man is an absolute must watch- Christopher Lee believed in it so much that he appeared in it without a fee.

All those listed above are VERY good choices, so I'm not repeating them. But, I will add the following:

- The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Holmes/Watson trek to Scotland and investigate mysterious goings on at Urquhart Castle.)

- The Drum (features Roger Livesay and a Scottish Regiment)

- Wee Willie Winkie (A Shirley Temple classic, and my first exposure to kilts, pith helmets, and military pipe bands)
