I stumbled onto this movie in 1983. On my top 10 all time favs. The music still evokes a sense of longing to be there. There is no other soundtrack like this one. I mean it. It will take you to the the rocky shores of Inverness whenever you want to go. Enjoy!

I've loved this soundtrack since it came out back in the 80s. Does anyone know where I can find more whistle machine music like what is used on the track Whistle Theme?

I'm pretty sure Track #5 on this soundtrack - "The Way It Always Starts" - is sung by Gerry Rafferty

A stunning companion to a wonderful movie. Arguably Knopfler's best work. The only omission is Victor's Song (Lone Star Man).
Possibly the best soundtrack ever recorded

Granted, I'm biased because I’m a huge Knopfler fan. The film was splendid…I rented it with my girlfriend when I was in college back in 84...and immediately knew who was playing on the soundtrack. I’ve got to say that Bill Forsyth (who wrote and directed the film) knew what he was doing when he hired Knopfler to score it. My wife and I have now been married for almost 19 years and it remains one of our favorites films and bodies of music. If you love Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler, give it a listen…and see the film!
Timeless Celtic Mood Music

While I was a Dire Straits fan, especially Brothers in Arms, the movie really fed off the music and vice versa. I miss Bill Forsyth films, the combination of humor and gorgeous tunes is hard to find today. Still one of my favorite films and this one got me started on picking up soundtracks. With the exception of Freeway Flyer, lots of celtic influences throughout.
Excellent Score

If you are a Mark Knopfler fan you will enjoy this soundtrack. With the use of witty and soothing synthesizers incorporated with the guitar, Knopfler hits the mark. This is a classic original and would accompany Knopfler's work done for the soundtrack "The Princess Bride" in any fans collection.
