Because of the historical significance of the terms and the fact that it is a true story. |

Great film that deals with oppressive gender roles. A most iconic final scene where Nell Schofield catches the wave. |

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

Quirky, funny, touching, original and beautiful film. A great social study of the passengers on Whippet Tours. |

Clear blue skies, lovely landscapes, beautiful people, all filmed in sumptuous colour. Plus the toffee-nosed Englishman gets what's coming to him. Enough to cheer up anyone's day. |

Probably corny by today's standards but it is the only Australian movie that I remember fondly. I would like to see it again. |

A great film about two young people discovering who they are & how their lives will change. A beautiful Snowy Mountains setting & solid soundtrack make this a winner. |
