Aussie Films.
Now I know the Aussies aren't very good at most things (the Olympics proved that
) and okay at some things (cricket
). However I saw a couple of Aussie films that I thought weren't half bad. Romper Stomper (with a young Russell Crowe) and Bad Boy Bubby which was rather twisted. Both were quite watchable if a little on the edge.

"Death in Brunswick" with Sam Niell is well worth a viewing.

Mad Max was an excellent trilogy. Bad Taste, yikes! Voted the goriest film at one point if I remember correctly. It was great to watch though. There have been some bizarre offerings from our anti-podean cousins. One involved a possessed baby and a vicar who was a dab hand at martial arts. I can't remember the name but suffice to say it was entertaining and extremely funny.

Romper Stomper is most excellent even though it has Russel Bogie in it...

The bit where he's got the baby in the pram and it escapes is bloody hilarious.
