Your All Time Favorite Scottish Movie

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

When I first posted this I was thinking more along the lines of theme rather than story. That's why I'd give equal weight to Mary of Scotland, filmed in Hollywood in 1936 and Train Spotting, which was filmed in Scotland sixty odd years later. That being the case The Queen really isn't a Scottish film, per se. I suppose the real grey area is a film like Dog Soldiers which is supposed to take place in Scotland (it was shot in Luxemburg) but without a single kilt or tin of shortbread to be seen anywhere. Thematically Dog Soldiers has nothing to do with Scotland-- the soldiers could be members of the Oregon National Guard and the story would play as well-- so I'd hazard a guess that, like The Queen, it's not really a "Scottish" film, either.
