In no particular order these are some Aussie films I thought were pretty good. Picnic at Hanging Rock Gettin' Square (David Wenham, Faramir from Lord of the Rings, has the funniest lines as a junkie) Death in Brunswick. Strictly Ballroom. Animal Kingdom. (Jackie Weaver was nominated for an Oscar as best actress in a supporting role for this. Gallipoli. Mel Gibson aka Mad Max stars. Proof. Early Russell Crowe and Hugo Weaving (Matrix agent Smith, Elrond from Lord of the Rings) The Dressmaker. Kate Winslet Liam Hemsworth The Year My Voice Broke Chopper (Eric "the Hulk" Bana is brilliant) The Castle (couldn't leave this out, made by the same crew as "The Dish") The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Breaker Morant And if you want gory schlok-horror then some of Brian Trenchard-Smith's smiths early stuff made when the government was throwing money (as tax credits) at the film industry trying to ride the back of Picnic at Hanging Rocks success. Turkey Shoot for example. Don't get me wrong it's crap. or BMX Bandits starring Nicole Kidman in her first film role. Not gory but good for a laugh. |

Never laughed so much as I’m laughing now, watching “They're a weird mob”! |
