I rather liked Chopper but to say it is the best Australian film would be going a bit too far!!! But it was bloody good.

Good, not great. Bana is damn good tho in it.

I havent watched this movie, but let me say why,

we have it for sale for 3.99....

the movies we have for 3.99 are such award winners as THE FIRM-great ABS, Arthur, shall I go on... I just assumed it was shi*

Chopper is definitely my favorite Australian film. Followed by Shine is a close second, and Lantana then a distant third. It is a hazy and intoxicating film [and I love cinematic intoxication]. Bana delivers probably the best Australian male performance, too, and if he doesn't, he is second best to only Rush in Shine [and Bana won the best actor AFI award for Chopper which he fully deserved, especially if you knew his roots as a comedian].

See it. If only for the inspired performance. And then see it again and appreciate it more.

but it turned out to be a rather good movie nothing to unbelievably stupendis but its quite good

Eric Banner is great in it and it has made the real chopper some sort of cult hero which is a shame as he isn't a nice person. I haven't read his books but have heard from people who have that they are just ok but because of his high profile they sell well.
Eric Banner is also a good comedian and at one time had his own tv show.

that would be eric BANA

and how do you know that Mark "Chopper" Read is not a good person?? he's a criminal, yes, but do you know what his crimes were?? he has written 9 books about himself and his "adventures" and now writes children's books, read at least one before you form an opinion...Mark Read was a "cult hero" of sorts many years before the movie was made

[/my two cents]

Yes he was a criminal who did do some awful things to people without any remorse at all, yes he has done his time and I appreciate that. I have read a lot about him Before the movie came out, and hey I have visited many jails with a lawyer friend of mine and they are all inocent or they down play their crimes, I am Sure that chopper would not like to think of himself as a bad guy but one who was justified in doing what he did because of many reasons from ? abuse or bad chilhood etc. I think he is a clasic Psychopath they can con anyone as they have a very nice side to them and can be evil at the same time. I know he writes Children's books all I said was that he is not a great writer. Because he writes children books makes him a nice person everyone is doing it now eg Madonna,Fergie,Jamie lee curtis and friends of mine but that doesn't mean they are good sorry if we don't agree but that is how I see it.

don't be apologetic because we don't agree...opinions are gold....your two cents plus my two cents makes us all richer

That's cool, know that resistance is futile and I could be assimilated Ha Ha

Watching a movie now with Eric Banner in it called Nugget, no belly laughs but quite Quirkey and enjoying it.

i LOVED the nugget...lotto was my favourite

Hmmm. Well i didnt Love but it was ok.
Bana was great for realy his first feature lenght film (had a Small Part In "The Castle)

Althought 60% of the movie was complete Bull**** (Lies). it was still ok.

p.s
His books are also a load of Bull****

p.p.s
The nugget was great

When you say Bull***t are you talking about Chopper, if so how do you know very interested

The things that happens in the movie (and his books)a lot of it is made up.

My best freind's dad used hangaround with his (Choppers) buddies.

If my memory serves me wright he once said that his books were not intierley honset
