After watching "The Castle" again last night I decided it's time for a discussion like this - which do you think are the Top 10 Australian films ever!
My suggestions ( in no particular order) are:
The piano
Dead calm
The castle
Priscilla, queen of the desert
Moulin Rouge
Romper Stomper
Bad boy Bubby
The tracker
Rabbit proof fence
Lantana
Mad Max
Gallipolli
Muriel's wedding
Children of the revolution
Awaiting your response
Stan

Hey, any Aussies around?
No?
I'm quite surprised no-one has taken on the challenge yet.
Don't be shy mates, have a go!
(And everyone else is welcome to comment)
Stan - curious what Aussies think about their own films

On the topic of Cult films, there's always "Razorback"

A couple of years ago, (could be up to 10 I guess!) there was a film entered in the shorts comps that I think I saw on "Eat Carpet"
called "Just Over There".
It was a trailer for a costume drama film that didn't exist with a perfect ****take of the voice over guy who does american film trailers.
"This spring, comes an epic story about life...
...love...
...and romance
It is a story about a man...
...a woman...
...and a child
and a journey they go on that will teach them about themselves...
...and each other...
...it happened in a country....
...just over there...
I'd love to see it agai but have never found any reference to it even existing. Had me on the floor in stitches.
Oh well...

Folks, I'm in agreement with Circlotron.
After getting up at 11.45 to watch "the cars that ate paris" I went back to bed (after it had finished) somewhat disturbed and wondering how it got the status it has.
An odd film.
I mean, not "Naked Lunch" kind of odd.
and it didn't leave me feeling that i wanted that 90 minutes of my life back (as some recent films have done) so I guess it could be worse.
A remake that left out some of the wasted space and fleshed out a few of the unfilled bits might be an interesting concept.

Its a great movie.... when it was shown overseas they renamed to "The Cars That Ate People" so it wasn't confused with Paris, France.. lol like they are very similar and stuff... There was also apparently a scene where they were TRYING to transport a calf (thats is a baby cow) in the boot (aka trunk) of a car.... lol I can remember if that scene as added or remobed from the international version.. but I do know that I never saw it.. lol and a scene was added at the start I believe that was SO dark you couldn't tell it wasn't the same actors.. lol but their voices were different... thids info may not be correct.. but its what I read somewhere when I was doing a review on teh movie for school.. lol
