Blurb: The big screen down under - Oz flicks that have made it
bigtime.



The Australian movie making scene has it's ups and downs, but
considering it's relatively small size, it has produced a lot of good
movies.



Some of the more prominent actors and actresses are:



	+ Jack Thompson
	+ Nicole Kidman
	+ Mel Gibson
	+ Claire Danes
	+ Paul Hogan
	+ Russell Crowe (actually a Kiwi, good enough for us)
	+ Cete Blanchett
	+ Heath Ledger
	+ Guy Pearce
	+ Hugh Jackman



Some of the better known Australian movies over the years are:



	+ Crocodile Dundee
	+ The Sum of Us
	+ Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
	+ The Castle
	+ Galipoli
	+ Babe and Babe 2
	+ Picnic at Hanging Rock
	+ Sunday Too Far Away
	+ Strictly Ballroom
	+ The Mad Max series
	+ The Dish



Oz is also becoming an increasingly popular country for other
countries to make their movies in, apparently due to cheaper costs
and the wide availability of settings, especially natural ones. Most
notably, the movie "The Matrix" was shot in Sydney.
