A very different view of life in Australia that I believe changed the way many people looked at themselves. |

Made me cry when I was ten. The Coorong still lives in my memory for all its solitude, haunting beauty. Really good Oz film for kids. |

The incomparable John Clarke both wrote the screenplay and was in the film. Understated self-deprecating Aussie wit and storytelling at its best. |

Carl Schultz |
Good movie about a boy caught in a custody battle between his two aunts. Ultimately about what makes one happy, money or love. |

This is a Christmas story and I could never understand why it did not make it bigger. There are some of the funniest scenes I have never seen in a movie. It finishes with just the right amount of pathos. |

A film touching on frustration and paedophilia in the Catholic priesthood/brotherhood decades ahead of its time. |

He Died with a Felafel in His Hand |

Richard Lowenstein |
The story consists of a collection of colourful anecdotes about living in share houses in Brisbane and other cities in Australia with variously dubious housemates. It a clever story that will always be remembered as one of the greats. |
