I love Aussie cinema. I live in the states, so I can't watch many of the DVD's because of region coded DVD's. Luckily my PS3 will play most anything. But the video quality of "Adventures of Barry Mckenzie" was terrible...
Are there any HD DVD's of any of these sweet aussie gems?
Or even better, are there any other BLU RAYS out there besides Wake in Fright which I already own and love?
Which version of "Adventures of Barry Mckenzie" did you get?
This one's not too bad....

If you can still get it (now deleted), get the 2 DVD version. The documentaries are fantastic.
