cultfilman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) It is not well known but Australia has been a major pioneer of the motion picture. Who is credited with the first ever full reel feature film The Story Of the Kelly Gang made in 1906? Us. Believe it or not there is still remaining footage of this slice of movie history. https://youtu.be/vf0YNb8n9NM Six years earlier the Salvations Army's production of Soldiers of the Cross is reputed to be the world's first multi media feature film. Sadly no film footage of this pioneering masterpiece remains. This is the most recent critics Top 25 OZ Films. The Top 25 1. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 2. Animal Kingdom (2010) 3.

This is a WAY better list IMO. What rock is anyone under to not list Shine or Picnic at Hanging Rock...... Interesting omission being Crocodile Dundee (not you @cultfilman ) the 25 list.....it'd be on mine....(flame suit on, possibly the squeal too) Moulin Rouge! does anyone actually like that film? serious question, I've not met anyone who does. Or rather, would want to watch it again. What about "The Jammed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ @janjuc Quite a few of those are also on my top 50. Forty Thousand Horsemen was filmed in the same sandhills where the infamous Wanda Beach murders took place. Just a bit of trivia.
