So many Australian movies are pretty cringeworthy I hate to admit.
Remember Australia by Baz Luhrmann. I'm a proud boomer, so a couple of mine are, Sunday too Far Away The Sundowners Breaker Morant. Puberty Blues But a more recent one, this year my son took me to a gala premier, a WW1 movie made here in WA, Before Dawn, about diggers living in the trenches. Highly recommended.

Wake in fright.
And Bad boy Bubby. You need to watch them twice to understand everything that's going on. |

Metal skin and Idiot box, both featuring Ben Mendelsohn.
Metal skin for the cars and street racing. Idiot box for the relatability to me at the time, the cars, scraping together change for a longneck at the bottlo and the Triple J news theme playing in the background. I still say 'Get a dog up ya' to my mates

In no particular order...
Red Dog The Castle Bad Boy Bubby Malcolm is a worthy mention too. Whenever someone comes to me and says "I want to watch some great Aussie movies, I get out copies of The Castle and Bad Boy Bubby" and watch them back to back. It also warms my heart to see so many mentions of Bubby here. |

Not so much a favourite but worth watching for the cars and trucks of the era.
Who knew an old J series Bedford could carry a full shipping container. Running from Guns

as one mentioned some of our movies have been so cringe.
As are some actress's/actors. Sorry you Kidman fans, can't take her seriously nor care to watch. The young un's wouldn't know of Don's Party ! Les Patterson Saves The World They're A Weird Mob The Odd Angry Shot Sunday Too Far Away ! Stone Muriel's Wedding Many listed by others.

Not a fan of “Our Nic”? Guess that rules out BMX Bandits then.
It’s not a truly great film but amusing in its seventies ways - Man From Hong Kong. What makes a film Australian, anyway - Aussie actors, or an Australian location (real or implied)? |

No unrealistic exaggerations or anything too dramatic. And everytime I hear an Astron powered Mitsubishi start up I think of that scene after he snipered the old guy in the Sigma. I haven’t watched the second, after seeing that clip of the Jeep being chased by the truck and then hundreds of kangaroos jumping across the road, looks too dramatised for me. I read somewhere there’s a third coming out. Probably be catered to the yanks with a whole lot of BS in it like man eating snakes and spiders. Snowtown isn’t a classic but has some solid acting. Qantas flights are a good source for unknown Australian films, that category is my go to when I’m flying. |

I rewatched Last Cab to Darwin last night, Michael Caton and the cast are amazing, although someone kept cutting onions as I reflected on my own and loved ones mortality.

Im not really a movie person but if I was asked I think I would say Eric Bana is my fav actor.
As mentioned above, whats an Aussie film? Because me and the missus made a point of getting to the cinema to see The Dry and loved it. We did the same for the new one too, but not as good for mine. Years back we also got front centre seats for The Beast. (Also...Poita taking Lowndesy for a spin) |

One I had forgotten about was "Strange Bedfellows" and recently
"The Dressmaker." Surprised no one mentioned "The Dish" or "Oddball"
