  Title Year Director Your thoughts Votes
Dance Me to My Song 1998 Rolf de Heer A woman's battle with cerebral palsy. 1
Siam Sunset 1999 John Polson Quirky, funny, touching, original and beautiful film. A great social study of the passengers on Whippet Tours. 2
Erskineville Kings 1999 Alan White An excellent drama showing typical laconic, dry Australian humour. A very good study of unresolved issues between siblings, their loyalties to each other and their parents and the results of parental abuse. Mateship and machismo was dealt with realistically. 0
Two Hands 1999 Gregor Jordan 41
Paperback Hero 1999 Antony J. Bowman Great down to earth story where the little guy gets a go. 0
Looking for Alibrandi 2000 Kate Woods Great film 3

Russian Doll 2001 Stavros Kazantzidis 1
The Man Who Sued God 2001 Mark Joffe A gorgeous Australian comedy with wonderful casting and an iconic theme. 0
Mullet 2001 David Caesar Wry characters & story ring true. Great performances - an understated piece de resistance of Australian cinema. Perhaps the title set the wrong tone on release. 1
Lantana 2001 Ray Lawrence AFI nomination 113
One Night the Moon 2001 Rachel Perkins Beautiful haunting story of Australian race relations in the early 20th Century. Fantastic soundtrack, perfect cast and beautiful cinematography. 1
The Bank 2001 Robert Connolly It was a good thriller, very sophisticated and well acted. 4
He Died with a Felafel in His Hand 2001 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. 8
The Hard Word 2002 Scott Roberts Great story, great actors. If you like Two Hands or Dirty Deeds, then you will enjoy The Hard Word. 1
Crackerjack 2002 Paul Moloney 8
Dirty Deeds 2002 David Caesar Takes Two Hands to the next level. 0
