I believe they are all Camerons, since Cameron of Erracht, the regimental tartan, contains all of those colours:

I just saw the old WW2 flick, The Devils Brigade. A Canadian Unit comes marching into camp, lead by the Pipes and Drums, in full dress kilts to the amusement of the Americans. Check out Richard Dawson, I think, leaping off the bar into a barroom brawl and showing off his "tightie-whities" under his kilt. Probably kept the movie off the censor's list! I give it a 4 of 10 on the Kilted Movie scale.

I saw a Three Stooges movie where they wore kilts, I don't remember much about it, except Mo slapped Curley, and Curley slapped Larry then Larry Slapped....... Oh you get it.

The Canadian Soldiers web site has a very interesting & in-depth article about "The Devil's Brigade" movie; i.e. what they got right and what they got wrong:

Thanks, Todd! I will surf over there take a look at it. Should be a good tie into the movie.
Frumiously grateful to ye!

I believe the Stooges episode was "Scotched In Scotland"

I just finished watching Tunes of Glory, and it's now one of my kilt movies as well. Alec Guiness was amazing, and kilts a-plenty.

To round out the list:
The Devil's Brigade
Roby Roy
Braveheart
Formula 51/The 51st State
The Highlander movies
The Wickerman
So I Married an Axe Murderer

And an honorable mention (though it wasn't a movie, but a great television series) for The Monarch of the Glen.

Tunes of Glory is one of the few Alec Guiness movies I have NOT seen. Is it available on DVD?

Just went to see "The Queen" tonight at local theater. Though set in modern times (surrounding the death of Princess Di) there are lots of kilted men and variations of kilt wearing (especially during the stag "stalking" scenes). Worth a look . . . and the movie was pretty good, too.
