Australian films


Hi guys, you can find real unique gems in Australian cinema so I thought maybe we can build a list of recommended Aussie films. I'll start it off (including some trailers) with three cult' classics:

1. Wake in Fright (1971) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqWvWR8KYFw

A schoolteacher has to spend his summer in an outback school to pay of his student debts, and tries to fit in with the locals. One of Scorcese's and Tarantino's favourite films.

2. The Cars that Ate Paris (aka The Cars that Ate People) (1974) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKrZ8eTcdK4

This film highly influenced Mad Max a few years later.

3. Long Weekend (1978)

A suburban couple go camping to a remote beach and are attacked, but by whom?

I am thinking now about "Muriel' s wedding".
