This points 2 him being gay

One of ozzie best actors ever but he never came out

Hats off to Hugh Jackman for arriving from stage with a bang. His first two film roles were co-leads in Erskineville Kings and Paperback Hero (both solid films which revealed his star qualities) and the next year he was playing Wolverine.

In his debut role in Erskineville Kings, he won Best Actor at the Film Critics Circle of Australia awards.

Agree the list is s**t. Gallipoli not there either. One of the greatest war films, ever.

When Gallipoli came out I was around 12 years old and saw it at a long gone cinema in Swanston Street with my Parents

To this day it’s the only movie I remember where when the House lights came up at the end, elderly men were sitting sobbing

 

[Deathray]

When Hugh Jackman was originally announced as Wolverine I went 'oh crap, that guy from Paperback Hero.' lol

 

[Catfish Alley]

It's pretty good. A solid 8 from me.

Got around to watching Hacksaw Ridge yesterday. Was very good. 8 sounds about right.

 

[Neese]

Only realised today that John Williamson wrote the screenplay for Gallipoli.

I'd vote for that as my favourite. The end scene gets me every time.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Wog boy the original it’s based on work for the dole and for tony the Yugoslav farkin

 

[Plugger35]

Gallipoli and Breaker Morant should be in the poll.

Two absolute masterpieces of not just Australian cinema but world cinema.

Bad Boy Bubby should get a start too.

 

[RedVest4]

Lol at Australia being in the poll - good troll that.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Where's the Lord Of Rings Trilogy?

Anyways, I vote Bad Boy Bubby

No, Australia's famous playwright David Williamson did Gallipoli.

 

[Neese]

Oh I ****ed up, that's who I meant

 

[edgie]

John Williamson did write a song called Gallipoli, so there's that.

Good song, too.

[Go the Biff]

Ten of my faves :

The Dish – the American National Anthem is one of my favourite movie moments
The Big Steal (Gordon Farkas – what a crackup)
Malcolm
Animal Kingdom
Death In Brunswick
Storm Boy
The Castle
The Fourth Wish – John Meillon fantastic in this
Crackerjack
Spotswood – stellar cast but Alwyn Kurts steals every scene he’s in



A couple of TV movies I liked a lot :

A Matter of Convenience (John Clarke & Debra-Lee Furness)

Valentine’s Day (ABC film with Rhys Muldoon).

 

[Pykie]

My top 6 are probably not even in the poll.

Gallipoli
The Proposition
Getting Square
Two Hands
Chopper
The Bank

Honorable mentions: Fury Road, Wolf Creek, Breaker Morant


I haven't seen Looking for Alibrandi mentioned in this thread yet, not a bad little film most kids from the 90's would remember.

Diggers of the ANZAC?

 

[Scotland]

Not much love for The Club.

I'll always be a big fan of Crocodile Dundee. Classic 80s film, back when foreigners still thought we were quaint and charming.

Pacific Banana.

I remember this film as a teen, i stayed up late to see boobs which was a staple of 70s and early 80s Aussie cinema. If anyone has not seen the doco Not Quite Hollywood, do it its a really really good insight into Aussie cinema of those times.
