Lantana was a great movie, and Gallipoli I've watched many times.
My Brilliant Career.... I preferred the book ... but a great story.
Actually "Kenny" I found amusing....

I really like Baz Luhrmann movies.. will be interested to see his new one, The Great Gatsby.
I liked Australia, but boy is Nicole Kidman's voice annoying. Grates on my nerves
Also like The Castle, Strictly Ballroom and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (although no fan of trannies).
Other than that, Strange Bedfellows was good for a low budget film.

Wow I forgot about Priscilla...I watched that movie way back in the day! I liked it!
I watched "Tomorrow When the War Began" over the weekend... and had to say it wasn't too bad!
It made me think, its not often I'd say that about an Australian movie (although I think we're improving!)
Whats your favourite, any I should check out? I heard Red Dog was pretty good...
... plus any NZ ones?
Australia used to make much better movies IMO. They're just not what they used to be. The same goes for Hollywood too.
Not a movie but on Thursdays the ABC has a pretty good show called Crownies. Definately worth a look. It's a legal series about young solicitors working for the Crown Prosecuter. The characters actually have some depth to them.
