Iconic movies - school me!

[MrsEddieBetts]

There is a total lack of Aussie and foreign films here. Here are are a few recommendations.

Strictly Ballroom
Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Muriels Wedding
The Dish
The Castle.
Walkabout
and the greatest of them all, Carlton supporters would absolutely love it, The Club (its on Prime)

Foreign Films
In Bruges
Amelie
Run Lola Run
The Commitments

I've seen Strictly, Priscilla, Muriel and the Castle. I shall check out The Club for sure!

I've also seen In Bruges but not the others.

Thank you

So any film not Australian should be treated as foreign then?

Wayne's World very foreign

The Club is awesome.

Picnic at Hanging Rock - very good Aussie mystery film from the 70’s.

Rewatched The Fugitive tonight because of this thread. Still stands up. Tommy Lee Jones won an Oscar so got a sequel. Also had a young Julianne Moore which I'd forgotten about and an even younger Jane Lynch I never even noticed.

It's a 10/10 film. So good.

Police Story 1 and Drunken Master 2 for some Hong Kong Jackie Chan classics.

Lynch is a year older than moore so technically it should be a young lynch and an even younger moore.

Primal Fear is pretty iconic for its ending and for Ed Norton smashing it out of the park in his first role.

Exactly, unknown new actor planting his flag. The film's fairly standard until near the end he lets slip the facade and you see the truth. Great work there.
