A Classic Film

Here's an early scene from the Bill Forsyth classic Local Hero. I'm posting it in the hopes it will inspire you to go out and watch the whole movie. You get a good sense of the tone, humor, and setting from this clip, and believe me, it just keeps getting better from this point forward. The two characters here, Mac (the American) and Danny (the Scot), work for a giant oil conglomerate and are heading to a remote seaside village to buy the place to build a refinery. Things don't quite unfold as you might expect...
