Apart from the big movies (Mad Max, Chopper etc) I like

The Big Steal
The Year my voice broke
The Wog Boy (curls get the Girls)

Does Sirens count cos anything with Elle McPherson naked in it is great for me!

Watched the Oyster Farmer (think thats what it was called) the other week and enjoyed it

[Punk Rooster]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned He Died With A Felaffel In His Hand!

The Big Steal

"You've got pretty big tits for a bloke" .

[MatteeG]

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING (1991)

Starring Garry McDonald.

A great little film.

LOL- Mrs G has a cameo role in that movie. Watch the first 10 or so minutes- the canteen scene. When Brian Vriends is chucking the food everywhere a very little (approx 5 years old) Mrs G is at the front watching. Then, when the kids all chase the cop car that takes him away, she loses her shoe chasing the car, and has to go back and slip it on*

Filmed at Black Forest Primary School for those who are interested...

They froze his semen to preserve the influence that he had on the pelican community !!

The Castle (encapsulates the Australain psyche and humour)
The Dish (the EJ Special Stationwagon - in need of a new clutch after she left it outside the Dish)
The Big Steal (Daniel our son)
The Crocodile Dundee (nice one skippy and for me personally having visited most of the spots in Kakadu where they filmed it)
The Club (so real it ain't funny when it c omes to footy club politics)
The MAn From Snowy River (the cinematography and the music score)
