I know. I make joke. Finlay Currie appeared in several of the pics I mentioned above; so, I exaggerated to make that point. BTW, I liked his appearances.

I think he was one of those actors that you expect to see in anything remotely Scottish.

Bit he was also more versatile - his classic portrayal of Magwitch in David Lean's Great Expectations for example.

I forgot about " The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" brilliant film.

For any who have not seen Dear Frankie, it is well worth the 2 hours out of your life.

Favorite Irish movie? Wind that Shakes the Barley! Ok, so that wasn't the question.

Hmmm, favorite Scottish film would have to be The Water Horse. Ok, Im a dork but I took my son to it and he loved it and laughed alot and I love to hear him laugh. So that is now my favorite. I'm sentimental....
