favorite australian films?

Did you ask for Mick Molloy's auto? He's not bad. Did you see bad eggs a couple of years back? Laughed my arse off.


I didn't mind Strange Bedfellows either with Paul Hogan and Michael Caton. There's just something about Caton playing a gay guy

 

yeah bad eggs was funny. Other flic just came to mind, "the Nugget" or sumpin like that with Bana.

I caught some of Strange Bedfellows on tv not long ago and i laughed a few times. It was cool to see Hogan playing something other than Mick. Caton is great too...his Darrell(?) Carrigan is the best ever.

 

He Died Witha Felafel In His Hand... Great film... loved it to pieces

 

He Died With a Felafel In His Hand... Great film... loved it to pieces

 

ditto!

ahh, i love heaps of aussie films. here's some other of my favorites:

two hands
mullet
blackrock
the big steal
metal skin
the boys
chopper
the rage in placid lake
the hard word
dags
bad boy bubby

i've definitely got to see little fish some time! have you seen look both ways? look both ways is what i ended up seeing at the cinemas instead of little fish... and let's just say that i don't regret seeing it over little fish (even though i bet little fish is just as good)!

ha ha, that's crazy that you saw them shooting crackerjack. crackerjack is another gem for me... it's just so honest and funny. and about what the government wants in the case of indigenous films; let me just say that i'm glad 'the proposition' was made.

 

there was that movie about an australian communist woman who gets to sleep with stalin during a trip to moscow, and whose son born from this union, played by geoffrey rush, slowly becames somekind of a dictator himself.
has anyone else see it? what's the title?

 

I cant believe no one's said Lantana, it was great!
Bad Eggs
The Castle (brilliant)
Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla

But I really hated 3Dollars. I love David Wenham and heard great reviews but it seriously was the worst Australian film I've seen. It dragged on and was generally more idiotic and overacted and completely missed the mark. Anyhoo thats just my opinion.

 

Ooops sorry Trickster you did say Lanatana.

 

That's cool. I like Anthony Lapaglia, he does great work on Without a Trace also

 

Children of the Revolution.

 

G'day sports.

My choice of Aussie films are:

Crockodile Dundee
Walkabout
Don's Party

Now i'll go off about my wingin' pom business.

 

Strictly Ballroom! I bought that on dvd last week... fantastic.

 

I remember one episode of Dancing with the Stars where one couple danced to Love is in the Air. Mecurio basically said he never wanted to hear that song again

 

Picnic At Hanging Rock

The Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith

The Club

 

Thank god, I was waiting for someone to mention what I think is one of the greatest movies ever. Noah Taylor gets a big sloppy kiss from me.

Has anyone seen "Dogs in Space" with michael hutchence? A great movie for druggies and old school punk fans.

Look Both Ways was good too, Adelaide movie HA!
And Goddess of 1967, Rose Byrne is so sexy.
Oh yeah, another great Adelaide movie, Bad Boy Bubby, what a fucked up film........I loved every second except for the incest bits

 

I loved Muriel's wedding, that was well funny.
Rabbit-Proof Fence was an excellent film also.

 

In no particular order:

The Proposition
The Adventures of Pricilla Queen of the Desert
Romper Stomper
Rabbit Proof Fence
Strictly Ballroom
Bad Boy Bubby
The Rage in Placid Lake <------ excellent, a must see.
Looking for Alibrandi
Two Hands
Babe
The Bank
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Breaker Morant
Chopper
Cosi (the play is funnier)
Gallipoli
He died with a Felafel in his hand <------also a must see
The Interview
Lorenzo's Oil
The Piano

 

Some I don't think were mentioned yet--
Shine
The Year Of Living Dangerously
Sirens
The Road Warrior

 

I loved:

The Book of Revelation
The Bank
Alexandra's Project
Japanese Story
Beneath Clouds

 

Ahhhh how could I forget Chopper and Strictly Ballroom!

Great films
