  • What's so amazing about Billy Forsyth is that his movies have a dramatic arc so subtle that they should be boring, yet they aren't. Same pace all over the place, but when the movie is over you're already missing it. This is one of the few movies that made me cry.

  • As someone once said, Bill Forsyth makes his movies entirely out of scenes other directors would cut. But it works :)

  • I don't really think this trailer does the film justice.

  • I wanted to shoot myself while watching this.

  • I think every major character is a 'Local Hero' in this film, that's the point. Victor is a local hero, welcomed as such; Gordan is a local hero in getting the brilliant deal for the townsfolk; Danny is a local hero for saving the environment; Marina is too for holding the dream in her soul; Ben is because he is the custodian of the bay; Mack is for his personal redemption and of course Happer is for have the means to make their dreams come true. I hope Mack went back. *g*

  • @cfwmoxie Yup, I saw it the cinema, taped it from the television, got a VHS version, finally found a DVD, bought the album, then the CD and now have it on my MP3. The music, evokes the movie.

  • This is a Perfect Movie, no question.

  • When I took some Fil Studies classes in college, this film was one of our most prominent discussions points.

    At first I didn't like it but over time that changed. It was quaint.

  • @cfwmoxie I totally agree m8. I just saw The Tree of Life and couldn't help but think it was a pretentious version of Local Hero without the heart and soul of this film.

  • one of my top films of all time. unpretentious and perfect. a film i watch over and over again...and i've had the soundtrack since it came out. first on vinyl, then cd now on my ipod.

  • wtf is this crap!! lol

  • LLOOVE IT!!!!!

  • This is my all-time favourite , everlasting beautiful magic movie. Since the 80 ties. And until today , this hasn't changed. And I guess - it never will. I will love it until my last breath.

    Thank you Bill Forsyth.
