This is my all-time favourite movie, which I watch at least once a year. It's a timeless classic (despite the reference to telexes!). The story resonates with modern themes - big oil versus the environment, the pursuit of wealth over happiness - there's even a "bad boy" (but very loveable) Russian. Each character is authentic and engaging, and the acting is brilliant and well-balanced. It's witty, charming, clever, bitter-sweet to the end but never over-sentimental. Mark Knopfler's music captures the magic of Scotland perfectly. I think I'll watch it again tonight!
