My older daughter and husband arrived yesterday in Australia (or today in Australian time) for a three week vacation. Although I've never been there myself, I have viewed many Australian-made movies over the years. Here's a quick list of those I can recall (astericks indicated those I highly recommend):

Dead Calm (1989)
A Cry in the Dark (1989)

Rabbit Proof Fence (2002)*
Strictly Ballroom (1992)
Dark City (1998)*
My Brilliant Career (1979)
The Man from Snowy River (1982)*
Lantana(2001)*
Gallipoli (1981)*
Crocodile Dundee (1986)
Breaker Morant (1980)*

ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever seeing it. I know it's considered a good movie.
ReplyDeleteWith any luck your daughter will have a fantastic time - I went once - years ago. I really didn't want to come back.
ReplyDeleteI did though...
I think Mad Max II - complete with the feral child - is a quality film as well.
The third Mad Max film - Beneath the Thunderdome - was a sequel too far.
white: I agree with your Mad Max reviews.
ReplyDeleteI do hope daughter doesn't stay in Australia. She is having a great time, but I'm so looking foward to seeing her come back home for Christmas. (Selfish mother that I am.)
