I've often felt the need to get hold of the opening "song" but wouldn't know where to start looking.

Ah, that would be why The Interviewis listed there with a '3' next to its name then.

Mel Gibson was in that. He was the voice of the Pelican.
THE FINISHED PEOPLE is on SBS tonight.
What it lacks in technical polish, it more than makes up for in heart and honesty.
Something rare in any film - not just an Aussie film - these days.

Haven't even heard of it, and saw this too late to give it a go ... I presume. Will have to look it up.
Re Blackrock and Crackers - both quality flicks!

Yep, I have a dubbed version on tape somewhere in storage. Again, I can't remember the cast either, though Rose Tattoo were in it!
Much ado about a car in a tree, from memory.

The Castle all the way. Best film ever
Other ones I like are The Dish, Crackerjack, Two Hands and Year of the Dogs

Yep there's another two I forgot about that I like.Spiritof82 said:Year of the Dogs

Do old Pat & Jen still follow the Dogs I wonder?
The old lady (Pat) kinda reminded me of my gran in some ways following the footy - although she never went to training - but equally hardcore.
Very enlightening look into the backroom of how an AFL club operates.

Very certain I can top Nugget for worst (though yes it is extremely bad).
Try Murrabinna. For aussie movies, that one is number last.
Others that defeat Nugget include Coda and Kadaicha.
Here is my list of aussie/kiwi movies I rate lower than 4/10. Yes, that is Shine that you see there.
Coda (TV) (Penny Cook)
Bloodlust (oh deary me)
Place at the Coast, The (only one good moment : "some of this foods gonna have to go")
Exchange Lifeguards (dare to disagree)
Dust Off the Wings (upshot = crap)
Double Deal (just a bad old film)
Murrabinna (even the tyro status of the Tropfest winners cannot save them)
Pacific Banana (it is arguable that there are no redeeming features, but, crap!)
Early Frost (we've made a few like this over the years)
Slim Dusty Movie, The (Russell Coight is channelling this movie! Not knockin' the man though)
Dreaming, The (An aboriginal Coda, still with Penny Cook)
Kadaicha (even removing Penny Cook diesn't save this duplicit script)
Bloodmoon (better than Bloodlust ... and that's saying ... very little)
Holidays on the River Yarra (just poor)
Return Home (can't remember it, but hated it at the time)
Dead to the World (karma my arse, Ghandi MCIntyre, cartin' Jugger belongin' around is your karma for THIS garbage)
Maslin Beach (okay, definitely open to argument *giggle* ... but a horribly bad film technically)
Talk (there were a few of these in this period)
Sex Is a Four Letter Word (and they were all crap)
Strange Planet (every last one of them)
Shine (i just cannot see any point to the movie ... i know i'm in the minority)
On the Beach (TV) (if you've seen it and like it, watch the version on Optus tonight to see how wrong you are)
There, another tirade out of the way !

By the way, I think Idiot Box has been very unlucky not to get any votes off you bludgers!
Has anyone mentioned Mullet? Fine Australian film with alround good performances. Most watchable Oz film I've seen in a while.
If not;
Mullet
Years ago I saw a weird Australian film called Smoke 'em If You've Got 'em made in Melbourne about the nuclear holocaust. Anyone else heard of it?
Oh! I just remembered I saw The Proposition the other day. It will dominate future discussion of great Australian films.

What's wrong with that? I thought it was a good movie. Maybe it was because I was living overseas at the time and gave me a taste of home. I can't even really remember the movie now. It was about four years ago I saw it.UNIT said:
