Two good Aussie movies.

Just watched Red Dog for the second time, almost teared up again, call me a sook if you want [ but not to my face], the other great movie is The Sapphires. Geez, we make them good here, and with not much of the Hollywood crap. Bob

I agree Aussie movies and british films are my favourite they feel more raw to me.

Don`t know if you are aware of this, Bob:

Red Dog star Koko dies - The West Australian (http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/movies/15669137/red-dog-star-koko-dies/)

Agree about those 2 movies. The Sapphires was tops and great music. Jessica Mauboy is one hell of a singer.

Yep, The Saphires is a great little film.

A little 5 degrees of separation trivia.

I love Aussie movies. Will have to see Red Dog. They are just so relatable (is that a word??) to name a few of my favorites, The Castle, The Nugget, Bootmen, The Dish. Love the realism to them and the dry Aussie humor.

Any "New Australian" would like the movie They're a Weird Mob. Is a collectors movie that I would love to have in my collection (at a reasonable cost :( )

That is one of THE classic aussie movies. I used to have a copy of the book, written by John O'Grady I think, that my grandfather gave to me when I was in my early teens.

Have a search on Isohunt, you may be able to download it. If not, let me know and I can send a copy down to you on cd.
