The Observer will be giving away a copy of the film Local Hero on Sunday.
Local Hero is mainly set in the little village of Pennan. Pennan has a little pebbly beach, a famous red telephone box, a pub that never sells food and a strange association with the Happy Mondays.
Enjoy the film ;)
Peter Capaldi is a a legend.
Anyone who's witnessed his swearing in The Thick Of It will no doubt agree 
I seem to remember there being some nice shots of the Northern Lights.There's also some bloke on a scooter who just keeps zooming up and down the street.
Great film.
Really good film, Local Hero.
But as Scoe-tish films from the mid-80's go this was the daddy, wasn't it?
Have always loved this film, saw it upon its release in a small 'art' cinema with a few other souls who had seen Gregory's Girl earlier at the same place.
Yes.Managed to obtain a copy of the film with the Observer last Sunday.
Hmm.Wasn't sure if i'd ever seen it and can confirm i never did somehow.Will prob appreciate it better on a second watch.Beautifully shot but didn't take to the character Macintyre in a big way.
Er, why is it called Local Hero? Just asking like:)
Very evocative with the northern lights framed with the red phonebox though and funny with the bloke on the bike zooming up and down the street
