Thanks for your apology though

Like anywhere, both Australia and NZ have produced some good films and some…umm…less good films.

But then, it all comes down to personal opinion doesn’t it? Personally, I’ve enjoyed Two Hands, Chopper, The Castle (Aus) and The Worlds Fastest Indian, Eagle Vs Shark, and of course the Lord of the Rings (NZ). Hope you did/do too.

Peace.

@22 Australia is mainly desert which is why they have a low population density, comparatively speaking. Bad Boy Bubby is the only Aussie movie worth watching.

The rest of you – look at the good movies from NZ eg Once Were Warriors etc, and we have Peter Jackson

Best aussie tv show comedy made this year was probably “Summer Heights High”. Most aussie tv shows take the piss out of aussies themselves so don’t translate that well internationally, but this one might do. Hard to say.

You’re right – population of australia is only 20 million. Combine that with the competetion for oz audiences with US and brit films and you’re left with enough financing for a handful of small (but decent) independents no one overseas will hear about.
The only aussie flick i’ve been meaning to see this year is “Noise”.

I was wondering if any of the Torrent submitters or us commenting here know of any good Australian or Canadian tv comedies that were good for international audiences

When TV Links still worked I watched some, the little mosque and some others the names I already forgot
The american comedies are easy to find from tv.com but after 70’s show, Seinfeld and Friends none have been such that I _really_ wanted to watch. Although have dl’d Big Bang Theory-series after it was here on rlslog.
(Somehow I understand almost all of the Canadian and Australian English but not all of the British (and already seen all the Allo Allo, Red Wharf (in which the language is quite hard to follow) and Fawlty Towers anyhow, all of which got torrents for whole series so if anyone has missed them, highly recommend them)
