#6: Local Hero (1983)

This week Dave chooses LOCAL HERO, a delightful, nearly forgotten comedy by Scotland’s Bill Forsyth (GREGORY’S GIRL). Yes, let’s postpone the darker movies for a while and travel to the seaside village of Ferness with Peter Riegert’s Houston oilman and a gangly twenty-something Peter Capaldi as they attempt to purchase the bay, the beach, and the entire village for Knox Oil and their astronomy-obsessed boss, Burt Lancaster. Roll up your pants and hit the tide pools, bring plenty of change for the phone box, and make sure you stay for the Aurora Borealis.
