The Proposition is quite good, but Australian TV is where it's really at.

Due to laws imposed by the Australian Government, 55% of TV has to be Australian made content.

This is why I don't watch TV and prefer streaming services like Netflix.

LOTR was basically like a NZ national project. The Army built roads to get to the sets, the AF lent them choppers, hundreds of NZ actors and extras and costume designers + the director. I'm biased because it's my favourite movie trilogy but to say it was essentially American is just false. Just because I buy a thing doesn't mean I made it.

Also What We Do in the Shadows is pretty kino desu

>>87679163
If you think the original Mad Max was American made you need to eat some bullets cunt

While trying to remember one film I watched which is a cult classic - Wake in Fright - I looked up Australian classic films and man, there's boat loads. Think I'll have to try and watch them all.

Also, check out This Quiet Earth. That and Wake in Fright are maybe the only Austrlian films I've watched, but they're both great. Just look up the trailers. I couldn't give a good description.

Can we all agree that Once Were Warriors is a fantastic film?

You wouldn't expect much from a film about a Maori movie, and yet it hits you like a truck. Hard to believe the director went onto make fucking Die Another Day.

I was just typing a post raging about how this wasn't mentioned and decided to refresh before posting.

Also, does anybody know the name of the coming of age movie about a misfit highschooler going to boarding school where the boys and girls are separated. Halfway through the year some cute black chick joins and they find solace in each others lack of social status... I watched it years ago and really enjoyed it.

Never mind found it. Worth a watch if there are any people here legitimately interested in Australian film.

Another honourable mention that I don't think has been posted is Razorback - a horror movie about a giant pig.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flirting_(film)

>>87679663
I feel like foreigners who watch Wake in Fright can't really appreciate it as much as actual Australians. Not saying you can't enjoy it but the way it touches on Australian drinking culture/alpha bro homoerotic shit and violence is best bar none

>LOTR
>essentially American
In what universe
And not because some American grub coughed up some money for it

Why do all Australian movies have such amazing landscape shots? This isn't even limited to shots of the outback either.

>>87679518
>What We Do in the Shadows
This!

>>87679469
Even "The Road Warrior" is not American. Mad Max 2 is as Australian as it gets.
That and Picnic at Hanging Rock are my favourite Australian films.
>>87679763
This list is interesting because Wake in Fright and Walkabout were both made by foreign directors. I agree though, they're amazing films.

>>87679331
Australian TV is fucking terrible these days. Danger 5 is one of the few really good shows we produced in the last decade.

>lotr is a kiwi movie
what in the ever loving fuck are you talking about. that shitty little island couldnt produce a shite 1million£ movie nevermind the greatest movies of all time. lotr was american they just happened to choose NZ forests but they could have done it in ireland like GoT. thats like saying game of thrones is irish because they happened to use Irish forests. i cant believe how stupid people are. the budget and gross if lotr is like larger than NZ entire economy. they could never have the money, manpower, economy, experience to produce one minute of lotr on their own. i have nothing against NZ but lets not pretend they arent just a bunch of retarded farmers and shit.

>>87683271
Utopia is kino for current Aus telly and Rob Sitch's "Frontline" is also timeless.

I could come up with a list of reasons as to why you're wrong but I'm apathetic as fuck and I feel like playing Path of Exile now. You're still wrong though

>expecting creativity from one of the countries with the strictest censorship laws in the entirety of the Western World

They literally have a mandate being proposed right now to make the military only recruit women.
They're a lost cause as a culture/world power.

They should thank their lucky stars they live in Pax Americana, under the United States military and nuclear umbrella. That kind of retardation only doesn't get you immediately killed when you have a giant bigger brother protecting you from people who would take advantage of your stupidity.

rake is the best legal tv show I've ever seen (uk barrister here)

>>87685323
the barrister hes based on is really annoying

good show though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K_D7kmiiog

Last Train to Freo and The Rover are good.
But no big AAA movies come out of Australia and it should stay that way.

Man from Snowy River is a classic

Is the Castle considered good to Aussies or do they realise it's a goldmine of quotable trash? It's like the Australian Napoleon Dyamite
