just watched chopper this morning, its c**t kino. i've also watched animal kingdom recently and loved it, ben mendelson is sick in it. what are some other aus joints i'd like?
Light hearted/entertaining: >Two Hands
Aussie remix of lock stock and pulp fiction starring heat legend and buch of other greats. >Get square
Heist/revenge film where Sam worthington shows why he was once considered a viable leading man. >Dirty deeds
Bunch of aussie greats star in 60s period gangster film. >Idiot box
Dumb but fun crime comdey about two slackers trying to pull off a bank job.
Serious:
The proposition
Guy pierce stars in a gritty aussie western. >The rover
Guy pierce stars in a gritty, "realistic" version of mad max. (same director as animal kingdom) >Romper stomper
Russel crow as a skinhead leader.
Dark >Snowtown
Probably one of the most authentic portrayals of working class aussie stereotypes, while also being IRL serial killer kino. >The Boys
Psycho gets released from prison and immediately starts fricking shit up for and with his family, a lot of similarities to Animal kingdom. >The Jammed
Classic 'Australian Film Commission'-grim story about sex trafficking in the 2000s >Bad boy bubby
Probably one of the most edgey and transgressive aussie films made, not actually sure how it got made, really.
>The typical Aussie pub differs markedly from the cosy, welcoming, family-friendly "cottage" atmosphere of British pubs, albeit with some exceptions. Rapid urban development, coupled with a widespread disregard for Australia's colonial architectural history, has played a large part in this.

What a tragedy, why do colonials do this?

Going to a pub strictly for drinks (alone after work) is sort of a dying thing. You'd go for the food/game mostly these days. Unless you're a pokie addict (then you're there basically daily), if the pubs got that license.

Objectively untrue there isn't a single vernacular architecture that could be considered ugly
This isn't some colony in the bahamas. Colonial buildings in Australia were objectively ugly.

There you are, three kinos of the highest calibre. Don't expect anything decent made now that government diversity quotas have killed film as an art.

Cultural cringe in action.
it literally is. you used to be able to drive almost up to it. we're not on a fault line crushing shit and driving it upwards so over here mountains are more gradual than steep
Whoever made this has clearly never been to Australia. The coast looks nothing like that and neither does the outback and there is no sand bar that joins tassie to the rest of australia. This shit is pathetic.

Nah, it's the AFC who holds it hostage with their artistic/ideological based checkboxes that a film has to tick to get funding. Almost all of our films from the 90s through to now are >Bleak urban dramas >Films about abos and the outback >Ethnic dramas/comedies >Scene films
Which have zero wide audience appeal and almost always flop unless they're 11/10 kinos.
>almost always flop unless they're 11/10 kinos.
And even if they are nobody sees them because they think it's all shit (and to be fair, the vast majority is).
used to think john major was the man when i was a little kid. used to wear a tie because of him. my mum always used to take the piss out of me for it in front of my mates when i was a teenager the b***h. dunno where i got it from, both my mum and dad were die hard labour supporters

pretty sure you get deported if you dont like it.
Hate these fake reddit pics making mountains look much larger than they actually are. Australia is as flat as a pancake.
Pic related is the highest peak in Australia.
Over 600ft above sea level

Australia is so culturally dead europeans invited them to participate in song contest
who killed captain alex is kino you pleb
someone hasn't watched "You and Your Stupid Mate"(dir. Marc Gracie, 85 min., 2005)

Animal Kingdom was pretty good, Chopper too.

Cool drone shot
These final hours was alright. They shit out a decent one every 5 years.

I thought people weren't allowed on Tanzania because the entire thing was basically a big nature preserve or something?
>Launceston gay
>ngmi mate
Tasmanian's actually exist? Do you guys foam when even the rest of us forget to draw the island?
fun fact: native tasmanians don't exist, the last one died around 1900 and there were around 20,000 before the bongs arrived
Cultural cringe is real and Australia are the worst at it.
Launceston?
The Logan City of Tasmania??!!
AHAHAHAHAHA c**t!!!!
Hello brizgay. More like the inala of Tasmania.
>Inala
I hate Launceston as much as the next guy but isn’t it a bit harsh to compare them to the shithole that is Logan
On a true story?

Screen Australia is Anti-Kino, exists to destroy kino before it is ever born.

Peter Weir has made more good films set in Australia than there are any good films made in my country.
Wtf happened to South Africa and Rhodesia?
They all moved to Perth.

flim industry is in Australia is held hostage by annoying talentless drama kid types who operate on pure nepotism and ideology

Underrated Aussie Kino right here fellas. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out.
Best flick since Chopper. Stars Eric Bana too.
>an enitre continent deovid of kino
>but its the most kino continent
seems fair
Lotta good answers in here but for me? For me it's Wake in Fright, top-5 movie and I'm a damn American.
Why is the terrain so exaggerated? The highest elevation is like 7,000ft not 700,000
I dunno your mums sex tape was pretty good
Wish I could say the same about yours. I'm sure some people are into it but beastality just isn't my thing, you know?
does NZ count? im not sure about things in that area of the world but I do know this is kino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quiet_Earth_(film)
I know right?? The Gods must be crazy!!
>The Gods must be crazy!!
one of the most popular films IN THE ENTIRE FRICKING WORLD for a few years
It was a cheap print, was easy to traslate to many languages and played at drive ins from america to zimbabwe and it was funny in any language.
>half the thread is talking about africa
>the other half is talking about australia
this is funny as frick to me
best aussie film of all time
THE TUNNEL is probably my favourite found footage horror film
Actually one of my favourite comfy kinos comes from here: The Dish.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand is full of Aus and kiwi cast.
devoid of culture of any kind, really. art, music, literature...
Watch early Peter Weir movies. Breaker Morant.
What about savannah bond
It was in an Aussie film that Thommo Mackenzie got her bum out a week after she turned 18. That was a pretty kino move I would say.
>ctrl+f Mystery Road
>0 results
I'm disappointed in you, Cinemaphile.
Not even a fa/tv/irgin and I still know more kino than you you gay c**t
Walkabout
>GREAT SOUTHREN LAND
A lot of good animators , Big Lez , Michel Cusak, Sexual Lobster
Frick you "Wolf Creek" was comfy. I also liked "These Final Hours"

I'm Australian and even I don't like Australian movies.
The Tribe is the only good teen drama show ever made because only in a post-apocalyptic world does it matter if some girl is binge-eating and puking.
