Good Aussie Movies

[PowerfulPies2023]

Chopper
Two Hands
Cedar Boys
The Wog Boy

Back Track starring g Adrien Brody is OK for a b grade flick as is Felony starring Joel Edgerton. He's also in another one where he's in a gangster family. Pretty good.

What else?

There are a lot shot in Australia, Australian directors.

Predestination comes to mind. Shot in Sydney, Australian Directors, Sarah Snook and Noah Taylor acted in it.

Fortress 1985 made movie. Good reviews.

Animal Kingdom. Ben Mendelsohn being absolutely menacing, Guy Pearce being deliciously above board. It's perfectly paced and tense as all ****.

That's the one I meant. I can't remember Pearce being in it.

Is it an Aussie movie if its an American production company with American actors?

Didn't know that. No it's not. It was shot in Australia. That counts for something I guess.

Have to find that movie. Haven't seen in it in over 20 years.

Fortress 1985 made movie. Good reviews.

Is that the one where the teacher and schoolkids get kidnapped by masked gunmen? That scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Yep. It was.

**** I forgot about Bad Boy Bubby. Even been seeing that a bit lately on forums.

I just realised I was referring to the wrong Fortress. I was thinking of the futuristic prison one with Christopher Lambert.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

My memory is terrible. I've been talking about it for 2 days and still forgot.

Romper Stomper.

Romper Stomper.

I was just reading this thread and Romper Stomper sprung immediately to my mind. Also, The Dish, The Castle, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Walkabout and My Brilliant Career come to mind. Lot's more.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Romper stompers budget was 1.6 mill. Did 3.3 at box office. More than doubled it. Good for a 1992 aussie flick.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Chopper would have done well.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Doesn't say budget. Boz office over 6 mill.

More I forgot which are good.

The Dry 1 and 2. Good movies. Eric Bana.

[PowerfulPies2023]

Chopper has to be the best Aussie movie imo.

 

[checkraiseulite]
