Thread: I love Aussie flicks

Ah! Yes.
Pattrick.

I haven't watched it all. Don't remember much of it. Another one to add to the "must watch" list.

Did I ever Mention, I was an extra in an Aussie flick.

Yep. The Mad Max movies are very well known here. As a young teenager, I rode my push bike along a few of the roads in that movie.

We'll make an Aussie of you yet.

There are stacks of Aussie films, some good, some average and some very very bad. It seems that the good ones always get remade by the yanks for the US audience. Think "Tim" and "Priscilla".

What gets me is that only rarely do Aussie flicks get shown on Foxtel, surely there's a space for an Aussie flick at least once per week, particularly when scores of the Yank ones get shown a dozen times in a month and then repeated in a couple of months time on a different Fox channel. Thats not even talking aout the same ones being shown on the FTA primary and additional channels at the same time.

Hear, hear!

I keep a lookout on the indigenous channel NITV. They have shown a few flicks I like. I missed out on "The Top Enders" when they played that. I always love watching the musical "Bran Nue Dae". They played "Ten Canoes" a few months ago.
SBS has played "Bran Nue Dae" before and recently another Aussie flick I love, "You Can't Stop the Murders".

I'm still waiting for "BabaKiueria" to be shown anywhere on TV.
