Breaker Morant is an excellent film. But these other Aussie films under discussion here - Proof, Innocence, The Tracker - are IMO right up there with it, or in some cases above it. These movies are simply different kinds of films, like apples and oranges.

To any list of great movies from Oz I'd add a trio of Peter Weir films: Picnic at Hanging Rock (which some people hate), The Last Wave (still eerie after all these years) and Gallipoli (as heartrending as Breaker, and a good deal angrier). Gallipoli is the only other Oz film I can think of that covers the same thematic territory as Breaker, albeit during a different war.

One of the best Oz films was made by a Brit - Walkabout, directed by Nic Roeg.
