  • Local Hero

    I remember that movie "Local Hero" DVD back in 1999 and it was a great movie. So laid and lazy, enjoy beach, sky and all that....you get so much fun, fun, and fun. Everybody drinks! Love that location. You got to watch it. :-)

  • A different kind of film

    For some reason I've always liked this film there's no car chase scenes, No passionate love scenes, an ending with no great revelations, a pretty mundane film. Sort of like life maybe that's why it's so good?

  • One of THE best movies E-V-E-R...a perenially fresh script and setting, endearing characters and humor

    This is hands-down one of my ALL time fave movies -- so I purchased this as a gift. Everything about it is adorable, Unique, and memorable. Even the score/soundtrack is inspired. Because of the richness of the script and bevy of wee little side story lines, the best way to enjoy Local Hero is to watch it more than once. Certain subtle humor can only be fully gleaned the second or third time 'round...I LOVE it!! And have probably watched it about a dozen times all told over the years!

  • Lovely movie with interesting characters. An aging Burt Lancaster stands out but doesn't take over.

    Love this movie! One of my favorites for years. The music by Mark Knopfler is beautiful and fits beautifully into the plot and atmosphere of the movie. Good performances.

  • Modern classic film

    A modern morality tale and a classic with another great minor role by Lancaster who steps out of character

  • Hidden classic treasure.

    Rare, hard to find but shouldn't be. A classic that too many don't know about
