And not one mention of how the soundtrack will carry this movie's appeal forever!! Mark Knopfler's genius is the cherry on the top of an endearing enduring movie
Can you change the settings of your Bruce Springsteen videos as not RU-vid Kids? I'd love to save them to playlists but because they've been set as RU-vid Kids I'm unable to comment or add them to lists.

J'y étais. Quoi dire... Ben rien. J'ai pu voir (merci ma fille) mon idole sur scène alors que je n'avais des galettes Vinyl. Moment absolument inoubliable.
Caro Mark, tu metti la vita nella tua musica e quella vita inevitabilmente arriva a noi, nella tua musica si respira un'aria nuova, pulita, essenziale...Grazie di esistere!!!!! Ti adoro!!!!!!❤🎸❤🎸❤🔝🔝🔝
An extremely overrated movie. Poor in also ever facet. I suspect there is some hidden meaning behind it that has given it limelight, but otherwise rubbish.
Strange how they seem to have missed how powerful the music by Mark Knopfler was --- thats what made me think this could be a good film to watch. For all that talking and they missed the best key for engagement.
Bonjour madame ou monsieur je suis satisfait de ce morceau que j'adore d'ailleurs je suis musicien bassite et j'aimerais bien jouer avec ce grand monsieur bravo le saxo vive la musique 🎶 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I find out, after forty years, that I wasn't in the "target audience", but oh well, as someone in his mid-teens who saw it at the cinema when it opened, I enjoyed it back in the day. Among other things, I thought it was a good advertisement for Scottish tourism.
Good documentary with, however, a very major flaw. There is not even one reference made to the final ingredient which made this movie so very special..,,the music …Mark Knopfler’s wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack which, 40 years later, is remembered just as fondly as the movie it graced so magnificently ..,, a shocking omission
I find it difficult that Movies of this quality are far and few between in 2024. Then I realized four things finding someone with acting ability location the music score and lastly movie directors.... which in 2024 sadly we have slim pickings
Sou de Imbituba SC, sul do Brasil, sou um gigante fã de Mark knopfler, sou uma pessoa umilde, ex caminhoneiro que aprendi escutar uma boa música e saber de tudo isso através do meu falecido irmão Peris, aprendi a escutar música com ele, sou fã de Elvis Presley tbm, na atualidade sou fã de yellostony Mark knopfler sou seu fã
I heard that Burt Lancaster whilst giving a tribute to the director, Bill Forsyth, during the wrap party, said Bill spoke a language unknown to man!!! Can well imagine that a broad Scottish accent could sound alien to many and I'm Scottish! Watched the film many times, loved it.
I played in the tide pools on the tip of the Monterey peninsula as I was born in Pacific Grove in 1955❤ I saw that I had gone back there watching this movie thank you so much❤
SISKEL & EBERT gave films like this the editorial chance to make money. That's why Disney bought Siskel & Ebert and murdered them -- so that audiences had no idea what a good movie was.
They should have dropped the whole thing with the Psychiatrist. It’s just painful to watch and adds nothing to the story or pace. I suppose it’s to placate the American audience who see psychiatrists as useful. In Britain, the only people who see a psychiatrist are teenage girls with eating disorders and people who think Jesus is talking to them through the television.
Listen to what Bill Forsyth has to say about Happer's character ... it all chimes for me. Plus the scene when the psychiatrist is on the roof before getting fired is just too funny. And after all it's a gentle poke at American characteristics and certain Scottish/British characteristics so I never really considered it any more out of place than the "Knox Oil & Gas" greetings on the telephone let's say, which I also find incongruous in the film, but which make me smile.
The phonebox scene is so true how we worked in the 80s. I was in RAF at the time. To get calls between my parents to me when I lived off base, they called the phonebox, local kids would answer and run to my girlfriends house to tell me there was a call. The kids of course got paid for that.
