Gregory's Girl
Gregory's Girl is a 1980 Scottish coming-of-age romantic comedy film written and directed by Bill Forsyth and starring John Gordon Sinclair, Dee Hepburn and Clare Grogan. The film is set in and around a state secondary school in the Abronhill district of Cumbernauld.
Gregory's Girl was ranked No. 30 in the British Film Institute's list of the top 100 British films of the 20th century, and No. 29 on Entertainment Weekly's 2015 list of the 50 best high school movies.
Gregory Underwood is a young man who plays on his school football team. They are not doing very well, so the coach holds a trial to find new players. Dorothy shows up and despite the coach's misgivings, proves to be a very good player. She subsequently takes Gregory's place as centre forward and Gregory in turn replaces his friend Andy as goalkeeper.
Gregory is all for her making the team, as he finds her very attractive. He has to compete for her attention with all the other boys who share the same opinion. Gregory initially confides in his best friend Steve, the most mature of Gregory's circle of friends and asks him for help in attracting Dorothy. Steve is unable to assist him.
Acting on the advice of his precocious 10-year-old sister Madeleine, he awkwardly asks Dorothy out on a date. She accepts but Dorothy's friend, Carol, shows up at the rendezvous instead and informs Gregory that something had come up; Dorothy would not be able to make it. He is disappointed but Carol talks him into taking her to the chip shop.
When they arrive, she hands him off to another friend, Margo, and leaves. Gregory is rather confused but goes for a walk with the new girl. On their stroll, they encounter a waiting Susan, another of Dorothy's friends and Margo leaves. Susan confesses that it was all arranged by her friends, including Dorothy. She explains, "It's just the way girls work. They help each other".
They go to the park and talk. At the date's end, Gregory is more than pleased with Susan and the two kiss numerous times on his doorstep before calling it a night and arranging a second date. Madeleine, who had been watching from the window, quizzes him on his date and calls him a liar when he claims he did not kiss Susan.
Gregory's friends, Andy and Charlie, are even more inept with girls but see Gregory at various times with three apparent dates and are envious of his new success. They try to hitch-hike to Caracas, where Andy has heard the women greatly outnumber the men, but fail at that as well.
