You have listed "Brewster McCloud" twice in your list.
I'm glad I'm not alone in loving Gallipoli. Amazing, pure, devastating film. Weir at his best. And proof that Mel Gibson is a damn fine actor when his ego doesn't get in the way.
Yeah, my list includes Altman's eccentric masterpiece twice, but, yes it is worth mentioning twice, until Warner get the message. Thieves Like Us, however, is out in the UK on June 20th: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...240404-3167868
Another film on that list, Wim Wenders' mesmerizing epic, Until the End of the World (Bis ans Ende der Welt) is out in Germany May 24th: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASI...603401-3393346 It's the full-length version and includes the deleted scenes.
There is an Italian version available, but this edition is much more affordable at 18 Euros
Speaking as an Aussie who doesn't really like the films made by our film industry - I have to say that this is easily my favourite Aussie film, perfect in every regard...
To say I'm happy it's coming out is an understatement.
Just got mine today. Looks very nice. Got a few nice sets from Oz recently , Picnic at Hanging Rock,Muriels Wedding, Priscilla QOTD and The Corporation documentary.
Another great Australian film of the '70's, 'Don's Party', has just been released in a good anamorphic transfer with a 100 minute making of documentary and 1 hr interview with David Williamson. Australia certainly doesn't make films like this anymore, more's the pity (although Lantana came close a few years back).
