Top 5 kilt movies

**Panache** · 27th February 06, 03:41 PM

As a kid I loved Jules Verne movies and Journey to the Center of the Earth has young Mr. Boone not only in full highland garb but singing Robert Burn's "My Love is like the red red rose" to a lovely lass. To be any more any more Scottish would require a single malt scotch, a haggis, and a caber. (Which probably would have spolied the romantic mood of the scene...)

You boys disappoint me.....no votes for Formula 51? Samuel Jackson in a kilt throughout the whole movie!

LOL, he's a large black man in a kilt. Actually not a bad movie.

I love the lesson in Formula 51: when the guy is told to "follow the man in the dress" at the airport and ends up following the group in traditional African garb rather than Jackson. Subtle lesson there.

All those movies are in my list
My favourite is Forumla 51 the seen where Samual Jackson is on the plane and is asleep and a women tries to sneak a peak under his kilt, the 3 ending where he explains the reason for wearing his kilt.

Just received my VHS copy off eBay in the mail this weekend and watched it Sunday night with my wife. She loves old movies, Shirley Temple movies, classics of all sorts, etc. She said she remembered watching Wee Willie Winkie as a little girl, but doesn't remember the kilts. (That kinda supports my observation that young children generally do not make a fuss about a man in a kilt.)

I'll tell you what would be a real challenge, though...

...having just finished the original Monarch of the Glen book, I think that that would be one tough book to adapt into a movie...the humour is firmly rooted in the 1920's or 30's and much of it is a commentary on wacky "movements" that people were joining...the astro-vegetarians and the nutcase hiking society...which I guess was a poke at the trends in England back when the book was written but would be lost on most folks nowadays.

Still....it's one of those books that you start casting the movie for in your mind....although I can think of no one but Julian Fellowes to play Kilwillie...even though this Kilwillie would be the father of the one that we have on the TV series.

But no one has mentioned those immortal Three Stooges classics: The Hot Scots and Scotched in Scotland! McMoe, McLarry and McCurley,,,,nyuk nyuk nyuk!

Best
