I was lucky enough to see Highlander at the Leicester Square odeon in 1986 when it was first released. It remains one of my favourite films due to the story, the idea, the actors and of course because of the soundtrack!
One of my fav scenes is when Connors wife Heather is growing old and is on her deathbed
I don't want to die I want to stay with you forever.
I want that too.
Will you do something for me, Connor?
What, lass?
In the years to come, will you light a candle... and remember me on my birthday?
Aye, love. I will.
I wanted to have your children.
They would have been strong and fine.
Don't see me, Connor. Let me die in peace. Where are we?
We're in the highlands. Where else? Running down a mountainside. The sun is shining. It's not cold. You've got your sheepskins on...and the boots I made for you. Good night, my bonny Heather.
Isn't that just heartbreaking!! A wonderful scene, that meant so much to me, as much in 1986 as it still does today. If you haven't seen Highlander yet what are you waiting for!!
