It's brilliant.

[RATTER15]

Is that the field with the donkey in it and the fight over ownership or something, very basic, but also brilliant.

I saw many years ago.

[Captin Kirk]

It was good from what I remember but it was years ago.

[piggynose]

years ago. it was only made in 1990

[dothawkes31]

I've seen the one with Burt Lancaster where they want to build an oil refinery in the bay, is that the one?

[piggynose]

hi dot, that sounds an interesting film with burt lancaster, richard harris, john hurt &sean bean

[jake-the-peg]

Isn't that "Local Hero" with Burt Lancaster in Scotland

[RATTER15]

I think 1990 qualifies as "years ago" its 20 years ago!

[paddywak]

Local Hero also has a brilliant sound track by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. If you ever watch football you'll have heard the main theme played as Newcastle United come onto the field for their home games

[piggynose]

sorry ratter, i thought years ago was 30 plus years ago. maybe i should google it, or throw it onto cb for a massive 300 replies thread

[dyslexiauntied]

was that the one directed by Jim Sherridan?

[piggynose]

yes it was directed by jim sheridan

[Whickerman]

It's a superb adaptation of John B Keane's play. Harris is a tour-de-force in it

[piggynose]

glad you liked it whickerman. i´ve had to sit through it several times lately. its sucha masterclass in acting and drama
