25 best Australian movies ever

25 Jan 2012

The best Australian movies, in no particular order, are

25 best Australian movies ever – The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

Agent Smith from The Matrix (Hugo Weaving), Mike from Neighbours (Guy Pearce) and Superman’s General Zod (Terence Stamp) dress up as women and drive a bus across Australia. Somehow this pitch slipped past a studio exec, and thank God it did – Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is all the things a road trip movie should be, delivered with a distinctly Australian tang. And in drag.

    As much as I love "Young Einstein", they picked a pretty solid 25 movies above.

    Other Aussies titles worth a look: "The Year My Voice Broke", "Flirting", "The Big Steal", "Spotswood" and "Cosi".

    Come on........What about the superb 1983 flick with a very young Nicole Kidman - BMX Bandits???? We loved it at the time, but essentially it's rubbish!!

    They may be the 25 best Australian movies but some of them are video production New York. In my opinion the top should have been "25 best Australians movies ever filmed in Australia"! Anyway, congratulations with the top because it is a very good one and I couldn't have done better myself. You should think about my idea and reply to it. I'll be waiting for it.

    The Asian-inspired costumes of the film were intended to evoke the romanticism of the era, and one of the centrepieces of the film's costuming is a red chrysanthemum printed Chinese cheongsam or qipao that was made for Nicole Kidman's character. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design. Thanks.

    In my last comment I was saying that some of those movies are from a video production New York company and I think I was wrong. I think only one movie was produced elsewhere then Australia. I am sorry for talking without knowing and next time I will check before saying something stupid.

    Makeup and costumes are part of the mise en scene, or the aspects of movies that form the composition of the shot. Other elements of mise en scene include the set design, the lighting, the position of the camera and the movement of the actors. Makeup and costumes are an extremely important aspect of that because they help establish the film's overall look, which in term contributes to the mood and tone the filmmakers hope to establish. Thanks.

    In many parts of Europe, actors could not even receive a Christian burial, and traditional beliefs of the region and time period held that this left any actor forever condemned. However, this negative perception was largely reversed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as acting has become an honoured and popular profession and art. Thanks a lot.

    The FDA does not have to approve or review the cosmetics, or what goes in them before they are sold to the consumers. The FDA only regulates against the colors that can be used in the cosmetics and hair dyes. The cosmetic companies do not have to report any injuries from the products, they also only have voluntary recalls on products. Thanks.

    You forgot Breaker Morant and the Last Wave, which belong in any top 10 list, let alone 25. Otherwise, nice list.
