Local Hero
An ambitious Houston oil executive is sent to buy up a Scottish fishing village for a refinery, and finds the villagers eager to sell while he himself falls under the place's spell. Forsyth's gentle comedy, scored by Mark Knopfler, is routinely ranked among the finest Scottish films ever made.
