I can't believe that no one has mentioned that classic Australian horror that we almost lost.
Jack Thompson's first role, Chips Rafferty's last.
Wake in Fright
And shame on you all. It has a Landrover in it.
"Wake in Fright" 1971 - Released in the USA in 1972 as "Outback".
Wake in Fright (1971) on ASO - Australia's audio and visual heritage online
Yes, it is on the list too. They all are.
1973 Series III LWB 1983 - 2006
1998 300 Tdi Defender Trayback 2006 - often fitted with a Trayon slide-on camper.
A few of my favorite Australian movies are: (These are based on good story, creativeness, good acting, beautiful scenery).
"Babe", a really cute animal story for the whole family. Having kids helps.
"The Dish", has been mentioned before.
"Galipoli", a classic piece of cinema.
"Breaker Morant", again a classic.
If you want a scary/creapy one, "Wolf Creek". Had to stop watching, as we were heading outback for a camping trip.
"Kenny" The life of a plumber.
"Chopper" based on Mark "Chopper" Read's life. (A criminal in Melbourne)
"Sampson and Delilah" Story of 2 Aboriginal youths.
"Spotswood" Anthony Hopkins, and Russel Crow, in a low budget Australian film.
Cheers,
Ken
Ok, so in a effort to redeem myself in this thread, two Australian movies that i have found captivating and really enjoyable of late:-
Romulous, My Father - Eric Bana
Samson and Delilah - Rowan McNamara & Marissa Gibson
