Not to forget one of the best with by far the funniest court room scene ever - Gettin' Square. Great film.

Picnic at Hanging Rock - Widely considered to be Australia's greatest film, and I agree.

My son recommends "Nugget"
Mad Max
The Man from Snowy River, which has great scenes, but unfortunately, has an Ammerican star inserted (most incongrously and unnnecessarily) as the legendary Harrison.

Candy.

Kenny is another funny Australian movie. It's funny in a similar decent lovable way.

The movie tracks the life of a man who takes care of portable toilets.

Not any good ones no, sorry.

The Proposition -- one of the best "western"-type of films made in the last 2 decades.

Visitors with Radha Mitchell -- a pretty good thriller

Picnic at Hanging Rock Love the "vibe" in this movie, one of those atmospheric movies.

Comedies - Muriel's Wedding and The Nugget

And let's not forget BMX Bandits with a young and perky --and very ginger and hairy-- Nicole Kidman... she sure aged well.

OK, this last movie sucked.

I recommend "The Fringe Dwellers", "Rabbit Proof Fence" and "Careful, He Might Hear You". All great movies. I also recommend "The Last Wave" with Richard Chamberlain and David Gulpilil.
