Hounorable mentions to Idiot Box, Two Hands, Wolf Creek and Crackerjack which I don't think has been mentioned yet.

And in the so bad it is good department Alvin Purple and Alvin Purple rides again.

Well, add My Brilliant Career and High Tide to my short list.

Australia is a third world country and can't afford to get their film developed.

Oh Please

Seriously. It's an epidemic that's spreading across their "country." Technically it's a "country" but in reality it's a giant landmass with a Mars like landscape that's barely developed and has more toothless woman than the bar down the street, which I will be going to tonight.

But, like most third world countries it does have its diamonds in the rough. My favorite would probably be...

BMX Bandits


It's a horrible movie but that's because I live in a real country and have access to real movies. I try to not take that into account but I'm privileged.

Your a dick, technically your human but in reality your a mindless sloth. It seems your fingers not only did your typing, but did your thinking for you as well. Your the reason god invented the middle finger ...Don't insult my home cockhead.

Im generally not a big fan of the aussie films but my top three would be (which I like a lot):

The Castle
Mad Max
Gallipoli

I doubt a mindless sloth even exist, unlike the film development epidemic.

You are a dag, I know you love to be controversial, but for some reason beyond my understanding, I like you

Pimp has no idea! Have you even been to Australia?

I had to look up the word DAG.

DAG: noun 1a. (usually in the plural) a lump of matted wool and faeces hanging from the rear end of a sheep; b. such a lump cut from a sheep. 2. a person (primarily male) who is regarded as something of a ‘character’, eccentric but entertainingly so, a wag. 3a. an unfashionable adolescent. b. any unfashionable or non-stylish person.

That definition of the word is followed by an interesting article about sheep's and their dag.

I'd try to throw a playful insult your way but I don't think I can compete with that. You, ma'am, have earned my sincere respects.

Yeah, actually, no. I have seen it on a map before. Other countries wont even live next to it.

Don't worry about him he just likes to stir by making silly remarks, I am more worried that his favourite Aussie movie is BMX Bandits

Two hands is a great film, anyone seen it?

Ok so, I've decided to go for a bit of an Australian mini fest. I've browsed through the various threads dedicated to Australian film, as well as certain web sites, and here is what I have lined up:
The year my voice broke - John Duigan (1987) - just seen it tonight, it was a good, but not a particularly memorable coming of age tale.
Flirting - John Duigan (1991) - Not very hopeful about this one, but it's got Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts so...
The Quiet Room - Rolf De Heer (1996)
Bad Boy Bubby - Rolf De Heer (1993)
The Tracker - Rolf De Heer (2002)
The Dish - Rob Sitch (2000)
Newsfront - Phillip Noyce (1978)
Strictly Ballroom - Baz Luhrmann (1992)
Lantana - Ray Lawrence (2001)
Malcolm - Nadia Tass (1986)

If there's something else you think I should see or have some opinions on the selected bunch, don't hesitate to share...

Careful, He Might Hear You, My Brilliant Career, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Gallipoli, Proof (1991), the Mad Max movies, Babe (1995), Walkabout, Rabbit-Proof Fence and Breaker Morant for starters. I like Flirting and Duigan's Sirens too.
