I've been meaning to see the Ozsploitation documentary too.

Other than that I've only seen a small number of the most famous AU films.

Picnic at Hanging Rock was gorgeous, Walkabout was decent.

The Last Wave was a little crazy but still interesting.

I like Peter Weir's The Plumber for a nice little psychological thriller. It came out on the same DVD as The Cars That Ate Paris.

I flipped past this on TV and the colours were so vivid I had to hunt down the whole thing. You get a real sense of the searing heat of the island as you watch.

It's Michael Powell's final feature film. Scorsese's Film Foundation restored it in 2005.

Underwater scenes were shot by Australians Ron and Val Taylor, a husband and wife diver team with a long list of film & documentary credits.

Yeah I liked both of them, Proof more so.

Someone mentioned Noise earlier. I'd recommend that if you haven't seen it. Maybe not underrated critically, but under-appreciated even by arthouse audiences here.

Dingo (1991) by Rolf De Heer. Colin Friels and Miles Davis star. Rolf has made some interesting films.

That's interesting. Miles Davis died in 1991, so Dingo was one of the last things he made. It's also one of his few acting roles:

1. Dingo (1991) .... Billy Cross
2. Scrooged (1988) .... Street Musicians
3. On the Edge (1987) (TV) .... Ozzie
4. "Miami Vice" .... Ivory Jones (1 episode, 1985)
- Junk Love (1985) TV episode .... Ivory Jones

File: 8fcd51ad4c88bc1⋯.mp4 (12.75 MB,640x360,16:9,Long Weekend (1978).mp4)

Long Weekend is not one of the best Australian films but it's enjoyable regardless. The premise is simple: a couple departs from their comfy city life for a camping trip on the coast. Since this is a horror movie, their "long weekend" at the beach is far from relaxing. Nature actively attempts to punish the couple for their ecological carelessness.

Even though I liked Long Weekend, I have a gripe how it depicted the "man vs. nature" conflict. Often these types of stories project a moral code onto the natural world that simply does not exist. The underlying implication is that "evil" humanity deserves a comeuppance for its damaging impact on "good" nature. An audience will usually accept this notion. But humanity is not separate from nature or intruding on nature; humanity is part of nature. Furthermore humanity is not unique in its careless behavior. Animals can be extremely cruel and they act without conscience. Since nature does not care about the cruelty of animals, it's a stretch to pretend that it cares about humans behaving similarly.

Malcolm

Footrot Flats (well, you might think it's NZian, but the production, and most of the voice actors were Kiwi-migrants in AU)

Razorback (when New Wave made an attempt at Horror)

(the first) Mad Max

Turkey Shoot (the original video nasty--but so fun watching it back on VHS. "The little one, Alfie!")

> He Died with a Felafel in His Hand

Oh god, no. Totally fucking turkey that had almost nothing from the book it was sourced from. "Dogs in Space" outdoes it.

I've recently watched The Power of the Dog with

Benedict Cumberbatch. I usually look for movies within my subscriptions on Netflex, Hulu or HBO Max, however, I sometimes visit sites listed on https://www.firesticktricks.com/free-movie-streaming-sites.html to find sth new.
