you must add Ten Canoes and Jindabyne to that list - dave c 12:10:12 12/09/08 (3)
Down here we have been quietly producing some excellent films over the last few years.
Amongst those with Aboriginal... issues... you must add Ten Canoes:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0466399/

and Jindabyne:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382765/

Of course there have been many more very good Aussie films recently but these especially Ten Canoes, have the indigenous relevance.
- Ten Canoes...brilliant. Ridjimiraril is still with me. - Tony D. 17:47:55 12/10/08 (1)
  I caught a few films at a local Native film festival and Ten Canoes was one of them, after that initial viewing I bought the DVD and haul it out for anyone who has not seen it.

    ... in film as in music has long been that we have been largely ignored bhy the rest of the world.
    It has not done much for the earnings of our artists but it has allowed a considerable individual development.
    Have you seen Look Both Ways?
    Little Fish?
    3 Dollars?
    These have not all topped best of lists but do show a considerable strength.
    We are more than a cheap resource with good sunshine for big time movies although those do pay a lot of bills.

- I don't know why more lists don't have "Breaker Morant" - tinear 15:56:16 12/09/08 (0)
  as one of the best 50 of all time. The quality of four or five actors has never been surpassed. Great writing, story-telling, editing... all of it. I've watched it countless times and never have tired of it.
  "They mutilated him....... with KNIVES!"
  My wife enjoyed this line. What else could he have been mutilated with?
  Spoons?
  Twigs?
