Local Hero is one of my absolute favourites, and has been so since it was shown in cinemas in Sweden in 1983 or 1984. I've had the DVD for a long time and I have probably watched the movie 20-30 times, and I still find new little details to chuckle over. On the surface, it's a low-key situational comedy about an American sales executive falling in love with Scotland, but once you dive into it, there are so many layers and so many details that you may never really discover all of them. This blu-ray edition is the definitive version, containing not only the film at a significantly higher resolution, but also a lot of extras that give additional perspective on the film, and on the people behind it.
