Kingswood Country
(1980)

Simply the best Australian comedy
Kingswood Country is the best comedy ever produced in Australia. Higgins (Ted) is an absolute Australian character. His comments and in your face comedy is similar to Till Death We do Part. Being Australian, I can relate more to Kingswood Country. If you are not Australian, you will probably not understand it. Well worth watching again and again and again. The characters, Ted (husband), Thelma(wife), the children and the son in law (Bruno) are your non typical Australian family. Throw into this, Bob the oversexed and unfaithful used car dealer, his wife Merle and Neville the concrete Aboriginal in the front yard and you have a recipe for side splitting humour. If you ever watch one episode of this, make it the one with Graham Kennedy (Australian television legend). Unfortunately a show like this would could not be produced in Australia anymore because of the obvious racist and sexist overtones.

Crush
(2001)

Cigarette smoking takes over
SPOILER ALERT This dreadful film is not worth watching. If ever there was a blatant promotion of cigarette smoking and over indulgence in booze, this is the film. The film is basically a romance film between an older woman and a younger man and the interference of her friends. With friends like this woman has, who needs enemies? At the end of the film, she is friend with them again....highly improbable in real life.

Dusty
(1983)

Dusty: The life of an Australian kelpie from hero to villan
Dusty is the tale of an Australian kelpie who goes from being a sheepdog show champion to a killer of sheep. Banished to cattle country, his owner, Tom dies. Dusty must survive on his own. Being half kelpie and half dingo he learns to avoid human contact. A not to be missed film.

Smiley
(1956)

Exciting children's movie from a bygone era
Smiley is the story of a mischievous young country boy from outback Australia and his relationship with the local policeman (played by the immortal Chips Rafferty. This film is an ideal children's film. An interesting sideline to this film is the obvious change in human values between when this film was made in 1956 and of now. A not to be missed film

Snow White and the Three Stooges
(1961)

Highest Cost...Least Funny
If you enjoy the Three Stooges then don't watch this film.

Snow White and the Three Stooges was the most expensive and the least funny of all of the Three Stooges films or shorts. In order to cater for a younger age group, Moe, Larry and Curly-Joe were forced to cut out their slapstick humour. Lets face it, The Three Stooges ARE the legends of slap stick. This is definitely a film to avoid if you want a laugh. It is more of a melodrama. Even at that it fails.
