Guest Posted September 1, 2016 Did anyone catch The Code last night? Definitely a lot darker than the first season!!!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren69 10,052 Posted September 2, 2016 @Gieseler Audio finished the first season of The Code last night and we both enjoyed it very much, thanks for the advice and after DVP's comment, am looking forward to beginning the second. Some big name Aussies in there and I reckon Aaron Pederson would be sick of wearing copper uniforms by now, haha. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 2, 2016 Oh yes, Anthony Lapaglia is in it. Awesome as always, but I just wish they'd stop making him do accents. Much like Liam Neeson....... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian McP 4,126 Posted October 27, 2016 Goldstone, a sort of sequel to Mystery Road http://goldstonethemovie.com/ http://www.mysteryroadmovie.com/ both recommended regards Ian 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren69 10,052 Posted December 16, 2016 Just watched Goldstone, was a bit worried that it might have been an agenda/statement-fest at first but by halfway a solid story was unfolding and I enjoyed the movie. Such gorgeous outback footage (shot from a drone?) and the usual brilliance from Pedersen. Not a patch on Mystery Road IMO but worth a look for sure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darren69 10,052 Posted February 11, 2019 Enjoyed 'The Cry', well worth a look, took a little while to get going but worth the wait. Not strictly Oz (BBC) but made here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cultfilman 149 Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Is it ok to post television comedy here. Who will ever forget this comedy classic from the late 80s. https://youtu.be/Ls75U0FyWGE?list=PLOjuVlkvXKiZJriddYMV7Hzedb6L_gX2q Edited March 27, 2019 by cultfilman 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what you stated in the very first post of this thread. I fully concur. I am a huge devotee of our small but vibrant industry so much so that I have been on a nostalgia trip looking for lost Aussie gems. I have found several that fit that category. Bliss (1985) The Fortress (1985) Ghosts Of the Civil Dead (1988) The Picture Show Man (1977) Malcolm (1986) Fair Game (1986).

I have found several that you and others here may not have seen or even been aware of. I rate all of them loftily for their originality mostly tho all are low budget. The list I have uncovered is Bliss (1985) The Fortress (1985) Ghosts Of the Civil Dead (1988) The Picture Show Man (1977) Malcolm (1986) Fair Game (1986). Might crack out 'Running On Empty' on the weekend. Might even revisit my youth with 'The Pirate Movie' 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuzzzFuzzz 3,112 Posted May 1, 2019 Hey Guys. I watched 'They're a Weird Mob' last night for the first time. Made in Sydney in 1966, a story of an Italian immigrant arriving in Australia. Produced and directed by an Englishman, Michael Powell, who was required to bring the 'weird' Australian way of life to the worlds' cinemas. Starring a very talented Italian actor, Walter Chiari, and a host of talented Aussies including Chips Rafferty, John Mellion and a beautiful Clare Dunne. Using locations only (no studio sets), the city of Sydney is used as a character in its own right. Filmed in colour too. I was born in 1967, and it was a cool look at Sydney and Australian life from that time. Thoroughly enjoyed. Ant. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to recall a documentary about the making of the movie where there was one set. I think it was the scene in the house with a view of the harbour. The corner of the lounge and the windows were all there was. When the documentary camera panned back you could see that there was bush all around and just the corner (with windows, carpet, furniture etc) and the film equipment. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cultfilman 149 Posted November 14, 2019 Watched Bloom last week. I agree with this critique. Bloom lacks some finesse, but it's a really engaging series with a gripping and thoughtful premise that you'll want to see through to the end. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agisthos 211 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) How about Peter Weir's The Last Wave ? I saw it a few years ago and was very surprised at the (superior) filmaking craft. It did not seem like a movie shot in the 70's. Its watchable today, which is not something I would say for most 70's films. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076299/ Edited December 9, 2019 by agisthos 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
