    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

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

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

    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.
    Regards
    Robbo

    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.
