A pre-Agent Smith Hugo Weaving in The Interview

Fred Shepisi's The Devil's Playground (circa mid 70's, semi-autobiographical) and A Cry In The Dark (with Meryl Streep & Sam Neill), two of his best, I think.

The Last Days of Chez Nous

Children of the Revolution

Sirens (just OK, but worth a look for several reasons)

Country Life (You can tell I'm a Sam Neill fan, Aussi-fied Chekhov)

Cosi (staging Mozart opera at an aylum, with a great ensemble cast: Barry Otto, Rachael Griffiths, Toni Collette, Dacid Wenham among others)

Rabit Proof Fence

The Quiet Room (This has shown on IFC, you might not even have to rent it.)

Although directed and produced by Aussies, The Year of Living Dangerously wasn't actually shot there. But it's an excellent flick nonetheless, set in Indonesia during the fall of Sukarno. Peter Weir directs, and it stars a dashing young Mel Gibson and sultry Sigourney Weaver. Themost memorable performance in it, however, was the amazing turn by Linda Hunt, playing the native (male) photographer who befriends Gibson's reporter. Must see if you haven't already.

Some people love The Man From Snowy River. In the same vein Silver Stallion is an excellent brumby movie for kids. (Also stars a young Russell Crowe.)

Try to resist Priscilla Queen of the Desert, unless you simply must see Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce in drag.

So many movies...so little time.
