No recent ones there, are there.

Mine would have to be Gettin Square.  I found it an absolute corker and got a real belly laugh or two out of the main supporting actor.  It is a comedy about a guy who is trying to go straight after spending time in jail but who finds it hard especially with his mate who is an absolute crack head.  There is one funny scene where his mate is getting interrogated by the cops and he pretends to be dumb as dog poo.

Actually it is a very apt theme for recent times at RFC.

The Big Steal is a classic in my opinion.

The Castle, Phar Lap and Bodyline (I gues more a tele-series).

Romper Stomper was filmed in the street near my old primary school and where we once lived in Footscray.

Gallipoli - should be complusory for every student in Australia to watch that movie

More recently I was super impressed with "Jindabyne"
