| Unfortunately Saw 2 is american! Picnic at Hanging Rock gets my vote closely followed by Crocodile Dundee and The Interview. Blue Murder is without doubt the greatest made for tv show i have ever seen. For those who haven't seen it check it out pronto! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SAW 2 IS THE BEST NO DOUBT........ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LET ME THINK??????????????????? HMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN .................. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sunday too far away. Romper stomper. Mad max. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Best comedies - The Castle and Crackerjack Best drama - definately Lantana |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| have to agree with Romper Stomper, Bad boy Bubby & the Mad Max movies... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| don't forget "Picnic at Hanging Rock" that was a great movie | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes definitely Young Einstein....that was awesome, and also Ned with the guys from Always Greener and the other Ned Kelly movie with Yahoo Serious.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| looking through everyone else's list has made me think about my favourite Australian Movies - this is in no partiuclar order (except for the first one): * Bad Boy Bubby; * Ghosts ... of the Civil Dead (Nick Cave at his psychotic finest); * Dogs in Space (RIP Michael Hutchence); * Chopper (Eric Bana - what a champion); * He Died With a Felafel in his Hand; * Romper Stomper; * Idiot Box; * Mad Max (all three of them); * Angst; * Picnic at Hanging Rock; * Lantana; * The Boys; * Alexandra's Project; * Careful He Might Hear You; * The Dish; * Gallipoli; and, * Young Einstein. |

| In no particular order... Takeaway - hilarious Mr Reliable Blurred - because up here on the coast that is what most kids are like Chopper Looking for Alibrandi Garage Days Thunderstruck - Love AC/DC Two Hands Getting Square - they filmed it where I used to work... There are heaps more I just can't think of them off the top of my head.....;) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the best list eva....... The Odd Angry Shot Mad Max 1 & 2 Romper Stomper Redball (corrupt cops in Melbourne, movie shot on video, very underrated) Ghosts of the Civil Dead (futuristic prison movie and the best prison movie eva!) The Club (another Williamson classic) Breaker Morant Don's Party Crocodile Dundee (Hoge's at his finest) Fast Talking (movie about kids in Melbourne, underrated) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In no order Gallipoli - Great period piece Idiot Box - Very gritty Looking for Alibrandi - Sarcastic view on modern Australian society Emerald City - Sibling rivalry, Sydney vs Melbourne Pizza the Movie - Suburban toilet humour. Very anarchic The Year my Voice Broke - Good storyline about adolescent life in country towns in the 60s Muriel's Wedding - The underdog wins |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If all else fails, Screensound (the national film archive) most definitely has a copy. You could probably organise a screening through them. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Should be able to get 'The Removalists' at any good video shop. From memory it was a South Australian Film Corp production. If you live in Sydney - there's a great second hand video/DVD shop on George St near Wynyard railway station. Has heaps of Australian films for rent/sale. |

| As a high school English and Drama teacher, my daughter is in need of a copy of the movie 'The Removalists' taken from a David Williamson play. This is an excellent adaption of the play and our Pamela would dearly love to have her classes view the movie. Can anyone help with directions how to acqire a copy or does anyone have a spare copy I could purchase forher? Or maybe someone knows the studios from whence it came and I could enquire there. This is a great idea, thanks for reading. Regards, Aileen H. |

| for me it would have to be mad max, no budget but extra-ordinary direction ..... but bad boy bubby would take it for original script ..... as far as aussie camera men go my hat is off to both damien parer and neil davis, both combat cameramen with no real film credits but some of the most extra-ordinary footage shot with the story edited in the camera .....anyway that's my two cents worth ..... lol! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| nice to see people positive about aussie films: I also liked: Getting Square (David Wenham was magic) Stork Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Castle Wolf Creek The propisition Rabbit Proof Fence and many of the others mentioned here |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Struck By Lightning | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Big Steal Two Hands |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My favorite Australian movie would have to be "Idiot Box" Ben Mendelson and Jeremy Sims. Very Australian and true to life, with no Brady Bunch ending. "Got a poem for ya" |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| crocodile dundee?? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i love the castle and muriels wedding -the whole trading post and 'you're terrible muriel 'cracks me up :) and pejon 60 -if you like the movie for looking with alibrandi you should read the book [twenty times better -the movie didnt make a dent in it ]:) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Money Movers - a great, action-packed heist flick. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pat Lovell. ----------- FWIW, even though she has a producer credit, she really didn't have a hell of a lot to do with Gallipoli. Peter Weir made sure that film was made. The lady is off with the pixies. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dead Calm (when Nicole had her true color of red curly hair) Lantana Muriel`s Wedding |
