The Silver Brumby has some of the most stunning scenery & cinematography that Ive seen in a film. Fabulous film!

Forgot Muriels wedding in my list. As for Guy, best looking bloke dressed as a sheila Ive ever seen!

My best Aussie FIlm - "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"

My Worst Aussie Film - "Warming Up"..... a very "80's" film about a ballet teacher that teaches an amateur Aussie Rules Football Team to do ballet so they can get super fit and win all the time...... it is one of those films that is so bad you just have to watch it!!!! LOL

The Dish, The Castle, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Heartbreak Kid, Dead Calm, Love and Other Catastrophes, Mad Max (first film only), Muriels Wedding, Spotswood, sum of us...

Razorback was an interesting little film...and so was Long Weekend.. both horror flims of sorts...

l was'nt that bad, well it was one of my first films.
My favourite Aussie film was Gallipoli, the ending of the film was really well done when they go over the top of the trench and everyone is machine gunned to death, with the star of the film Archie Hamilton machine gunned last. It was one of the best and most realistic war films ever made.

I remembered the name but I had to google it to be sure, I can only hold so much useless information

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....got to agree totally with you on that!!!

One of the best of recent years has to be, "The Dish"!

The bit where the school band are supposed to play the US National Anthem, for the US ambassador, and promptly launch into a perfect rendition of the Hawaii 50 theme,
http://www.angelfire.com/film/jonnys...O/hawaii5o.htm is a piece of class!!
Fantastic stuff!!!

Cheers.... John....

'You bullshitted NASA' - gets me every time! Love the bit with the anthem too. We went to see it at the cinema here in Cambridge and I honestly think Mr B and I were the only two who got it. We were crying with laughter!

We took the DVD to my parents last year and my dad watched it three times in a row...the DVD is even better because of all the extra stuff about the moon landing. Really interesting.

Have you seen The Nugget (Eric Bana)? Same humour as The Dish and The Castle.

I'd forgotten about Dead Calm - still scary after 5 or 6 viewings. Razorback - was that the one about the giant rampaging pig?

Great selection indeed, anyone seen Black Rock? wordt film would have to be Bad Boy Bubby, but does provide for some good lines to quote.

one of my fave TV shows was Pacific Drive, fantastic quotes, crap acting

I was sitting here trying to think of the name of that movie, Bad Boy Bubby!! All I could think of was how he wrapped his mum in cling wrap...

I actually really liked that movie.....

You're a bad woman flo..................! shocker of a movie, won loads of awards though...

Just found a list of some other Aussie movies that I forgot about....some great ones, includes: Moulin Rouge, Babe, Shine, Gallipoli, Lantana, spotswood, Breaker Morant, My Brilliant Career, and who can forget Storm Boy....

Yeah...I listed Storm Boy and Breaker Morant....

I loved Storm Boy as a kid.....one of the first movies that I ever remembering crying in..... ~sniffle~


Have you seen Puberty Blues?
