"Wog Boy" is on BBC2 this week - late Fri night/Sat morning - well worth seeing.

Last week-end we watched a recent film (on DVD) called 'RABBIT-PROOF FENCE' ..the true story of three Abo girls who were take from their mother to be 'educated' in a white settlement.
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who's interested in knowing more about the native people of Aust.
We're very impressed with the calibre of film coming out of Australia...the realism in some of these movies is at times, painful, the acting marvellous.
So good on you Nicole Kidman and Russel Crowe (N.Z) Anyone seen an Aussie movie that they'd recommend?

Meryl Streep plays the part of the mother, and in my opinion this is her most underrated part...she was marvellous...the Aussie accent, the manerisms, you'd swear she was dinkum Aussie.
This movie is still available in video, and gives a realistic look at the Australia of the 70's.

The american comedy about the caveman who was found in ice where the parent's pool was being built springs to mind (sorry can't remember either title (too much champagne)

Ahah PB awakes!
Wondered when you'd crawl out of your hole with a worthless comment. I actually didn't express an opinion on the merits of Wog Boy, someone had mentioned it earlier in the post, so I was merely observing that it is on TV this week.

My favourite ozzie film is Star Wars - it is a documentary about poms emigrating to Oz and is a story of useless, unemployed robots, one with an English accent and one who just makes squeaking noises (one of the refugees on this forum), who hate the empire.
