hello there
i have been approached by a cinema in london to put together a film festival (weekender) as a "Celebration of Australia". there will no-doubt be fosters or XXXX by the bucketload and maybe even a barbie in the midst of a 48hr aussie fest.
my job is to come up with a good programme of about 15-20 films. anyone have anything they think should be included/excluded? i have so far (in no particular order):
bmx bandits
chopper
bad boy bubby
the dish
matrix
x-men
muriel's wedding
mad max
priscilla, queen of the desert
death in brunswick
the delinquents
pitch black
rabbit-proof fence
shine
praise
picnic at hanging rock
dead calm
proof
strictly ballroom
romeo and juliet
singalonga moulin rouge
babe
lantana
romper stomper
mementowhat do you think? (and feel really free to let your aussie mates know - i want their thoughts too)
thanks a heap digger

The Castle, deffinately! and maybe crackers. But listen, can you do me a favour. If you do screen The Dish, and advertise it, could you please use the origional poster from over here. I'll find it for you if need be. I was living in London at the time when they released it over there and that poster made me cringe. Worst movie poster i'd ever seen.

The Club
The CastleGood selection so far though,
By the way no one drinks fosters here and only Queenslanders drink XXXX.

Thin Red Line is a must (and it was shot kind of close to Australia...)

The Castle is one of my favourite movies EVER.
If you get it played in London again I will be a very happy woman.
And every British person I have played that to thought it was hilarious too! Saw it in Glasgow and they loved it...
