A Great Movie

It's got plenty of competition, but this may be the best sequence from my favorite movie of the past thirty years, Local Hero, directed by Bill Forsyth. It's the story of a mid-level Texas oil executive (played by Peter Riegert) who goes to a remote part of Scotland to buy a scenic bay where a processing terminal is to be built. Of course, that description only hints at what the movie is really about, but you'll get a strong sense of its richness from this five-minute clip-- hopefully it will make you go find a copy of the whole movie to watch:
