Australian Movies

Australia had a flourishing silent movie market in the early 1900s and made few of the world's first movies like Soldiers of the Cross in 1900 and The History of the Kelly Gang in 1906. But with the advent of Hollywood movies, the Australian Movie Industry declined. However, it picked up around the 1970s when the Australian Government helped financially to get the movie industry going.

Here's a list of significant Australian movie releases of all time that you can watch.



16. The Man from Snowy River (1982)
17. Wolf Creek (2005)

Since some of the movies have been relesed a long time ago, you can get DVDs from any rental place near you. These are just few of the Australian made movies. But their reviews have been really great and makes all these movies a must watch.

Some of the Australian actors who have made it big in Hollywood are Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts, Rachel Griffiths, Paul Hogan, Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, Toni Collette and Geoffrey Rush to name a few.
