No Surprises In Top Aussie Film Survey

The Australian Film Institute (AFI) held an online poll to celebrate 50 years of the AFI Awards recently and found that the country's top five films of all time are, in no particular order, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, The Castle, Muriel's Wedding, Lantana and Gallipoli.

No surprises there although I get the feeling that Baz Lurman's Australia, coming out in a month or so, is hoping to be on the top 5 list next time the AFI run an online survey. The AFI will announce which film was number one at the 50th AFI Awards on December 6.

Personally I'd have put Two Hands and Mad Max in there somewhere near the top, maybe boot out Muriel and Lantana. While we're on the subject, it's about time we had nice cleaned up releases of Two Hands and Gallipoli, my DVD of Two Hands is especially nasty.
