Best Australian/New Zealand Movies
This will be a work in progress.
It includes some films that were filmed in Australia or New Zealand, but produced elsewhere.
I'm going to try and buy all of these eventually, too.
PS. There's no order to the list. It's just the order I happened to remember them in.

Spank (1999, Unrated)
This movie is really funny to watch if you've lived in Adelaide. Especially note how they walk into Scuzzi on Rundle St, yet film inside Scoozi on O'Connell St (or is the spelling the other way around??). |

Occasional Coarse Language (1998, Unrated)
I haven't seen this movie in ages. For years all I remembered was that it was funny and started with a girl in Sydney who lost her boyfriend and job and then it all went downhill from there. Took me ages to work out what it was called - need to watch it again now! |
