my two cents
- On the "mentioning list" add Picnic at Hanging Rock and Don's Party - Road Warrior 06:18:27 09/09/13 (4)
  I threw in Don's Party for nostalgia sake. It was one of, if not the first, movie I remember from when we first got HBO back in the day. Not sure if it belongs on a Best of Australia list but an interesting period piece (a party, set in the late 60's IIRC, ostensibly to celebrate a hoped for Labour victory in the elections).

  - not familiar with Don's Party thanks! Picnic at Hanging Rock (based on a true story) is classic - PhilJ 16:29:58 09/09/13 (3)
    ...
    - Actually based on a legend. I also thought it wasH a true story - Road Warrior 18:21:53 09/09/13 (2)
      Hell, might as well be true. Shite like that has happened.

        I should have said, the source (the book), was allegedly based on a legend ^ - Road Warrior 06:30:49 09/10/13 (0)

Yes I mulled over that as well - Des 09:00:00 09/06/13 (0)
But being an abject Boer War aficionado since a kid I gave it the tick by half a star.

How about a First equal-ha!
