List published in 2004.
These films (Bill Douglas trilogy counting as one) were put forward for the public to vote on and a list of the five films with the most votes was published. The rest of the list is unranked.
"We've given ourselves a broad definition of what makes a film 'Scottish'. A film made in Scotland by Scots, obviously. But also a film made in Scotland by a foreigner. Dane Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves fits into this category. Our definition is even broad enough to include Braveheart (Australian star and director, American money, even Ireland doubling as Stirling! But a blockbuster about a Scottish folk hero and a film that employed nearly every Scottish actor-except Billy Connolly, apparently). Getting the picture?"
