I figured id list off my top five Australian films, and tv shows .....
Why ? Because i can and because im bored!
Film
1. Paperback Hero
This film came out back in 1998 i think it was, it stars Hugh Jackman before he became Wolverine! It tells the story of an Australian truck driver who writes romance novels. Probably my fave Australian romance film.
2. Shine
Alot of people dont like this movie staring Geoffrey Rush as a piano prodigy however i thought it was fantastic and Armin Muller Stahl is great in it too.
3. Crackerjack
This comedy was about an a-hole who became a member of a local lawn bowls club in order to get free parking. Its a great comedy!
4. Chopper
Eric Bana made a name for himself in this dark comedy, well if you can call it a comedy! Brad Pitt liked it so much he personally made sure Eric was cast in Troy.
5. Its a tie between all of the following films!
- The Castle
- The Dish
- Rabbit-Proof Fence
- Kenny
- The Rage In Placid Lake
- Happy Feet
- Strictly Ballroom
Yes, no sign of Croc Dundee which was just a huge 90 minute stereotype!
I also left Mad Max out of protest, seriously America, dubbing it in American Accents ? We are not that hard to understand!
Television
1. Packed To The Rafters
Family comedy, its funny, its sad, its heartfelt, its a little cliche, but likable!
2. Skippy!
Enough said, a kangaroo that saves a bunch of kids bacon week after week!
3. The Chaser's War On Everything (Only seasons one and two)
No longer on air, but they did provide plenty of laughs when having a go at the media.
4. Underbelly (Only season one)
I found this more enjoyable than most overseas crime series. pretty violent tho, word of warning. Good acting and suspenseful plot.
5. The Miraculous Mellops
This was an old kids show i watched, i include it because i liked the name and it was just crazy to watch, altho as a kid you really didnt see all the craziness.

Hmm, a Hugh Jackman film I haven't seen. I must Netflix it. Please tell me that it gets hot in that truck and he must take his shirt off at least once.
