Stumbled across this movie recently, and enjoyed it again. It came out in 1996. Stars Ewan McGregor (very young), Pete Postlethwaite, and Tara Fitzgerald. It's an exceptional story, and quite complex with several subplots involving labor unions, mining, economics, business and change. The movie knits these elements together in a setting of a declining town, it's culture and 100-year-old brass ensemble, that will inevitably end-of-life along with the economic infeasibility of the mine and people's over-dependence on their employer. Lots of interesting analogs with today's foolery of turning back the clock. But the music is incredible. I had to dig out the soundtrack I had purchased back then. I dare you to listen to this through to the end. Flugelhorn anyone?
