A couple of old Aussie classics .............

Sunday Too Far Away

They're A Wierd Mob

These will get you going for starters, and are a bit more representative than some of the more modern stuff.

Then there's always Crocodile Dundee and the latest ............ Australia.

Thanks!

what kind of movies are the two you listed if i may ask?

Sunday is a movie about sheep shearers,,

They're a weird mob is (very funny book too) about a new migrant from the old country and the things he learns/does to become one of the boys

both movies about an Australia in a previous age.
great flicks though

Hello Vic, Australian feature films starting from the 1900s, it's hard to believe, but up until the 30s the Australian film industry was bigger than Hollywood.

Here is a taste
All feature films on ASO - Australia's audio and visual heritage online

Baz (short for Barry)

Enjoy!!

i think you would have got charlie and boots if you have not seen that watch it good aussie movie

I can`t advise you on Aussie Films too much although Walkabout was well aclaimed in the UK in it`s day -

My own suggestions are to give these ones a go...

Comedy:

Withnail and I - OS 117 Cairo Nest of Spies - Anything Monty Python

Drama:

V for Vendetta and They Live


General Top Drawer Entertainment:

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch

Of course there are many more but these all jump out as `Must Sees`
