Devastating romance is good....

I'm going to look it up now.

I found one called Bliss on Amazon. Are you talking about the one where the couple goes into therapy?

OOOOH, I LOVE MURIEL'S WEDDING!!!

I may need to do a movie weekend and get all of these.

You're TERRIBLE Muriel!

How can anyone NOT love Muriel's Wedding, I ask.

The Crocodile Dundee series. How could you forget that on your list of great australian movies...even though those just have an australian actor, and they take place only partly there....doesnt mean that they dont count.

I don't know if you're being serious, but I don't count those as Australian flicks...they seem written for American audiences. They just so happen to have taken place in the outback.

Australia itself doesn't have to be the focal point, I just find the movies that come from there charming and delightful, kind of like myself, wouldn't you agree?

i wasn't being serious...those movies are fairly terrible, no matter where they came from. but so many people, when they think of australia, they think of crocodile dundee....if you meet someone like that, please, shoot them...for me.

For you...I might poke their eyes and then run away.
