Forget the name now Priscilla Queen of the dessert. Australia unable to keep up with Britain and US with Movies. I would say Australia makes films and not movies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the name now The movie I think you're referring to is, "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". An Australian Road Movie staring Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce as Drag Queens and Terence Stamp as a transgender woman, on their bus called Priscilla. Terence was nominated for a BAFTA for Best Actor, but he, Tom Hanks ( Forrest Gump) and John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) were pipped by Hugh Grant in Four Weddings. Did win the Oscar for best costume design though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the name now Probably Priscilla, Queen of the desert. Mentioning Oz made me remember one of the best movies I have seen- Picnic at Hanging Rock. A truly great movie, and the music was wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late father was into Westerns ,every Saturday he used to watch the midday western cowboy Indians movie ,who were they John Wayne ,Gene Autrey,Roy ..,? Rogers?? Bonanza ?,I couldn't stand any western movies ,I don't think they make Westerns anymore ??? Surely no one here is into Western movies I wonder if they have been banned by the Woke crowd ??

My wife and myself are collecting pigs from all over the world. We even own an original Haekelschwein (one of about 15000 worldwide all hand made by a German Granny alone). No idea how many we have all in all. That's a 68 year old higher educated guy with a place of childhood in his chest. We (that includes my wife) love our pigs.

Dexxter Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) I love Studio Ghibli animes. I have so many movies that I rarely have time to watch any of them more than once. Exceptions are Blade Runner (original) and The Matrix (first one only). There are a few others I would watch again if I had the time.

LarryLEB Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) First, what a great thread! Someone mentioned Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone) with one of the all-time best musical scores by Ennio Morricone. It certainly deserves to be highly rated. So many great flicks were listed by other posters, including Mulholland Drive, The Big Lebowski, Unforgiven, True Romance, The Wages of Fear (1953). The only poster who mentioned a movie on my all-time top-10 list mentioned Les Enfants du Paradis. So difficult to choose only 3, but here goes: Grave of the Fireflies (a Studio Ghibli film, 1988, directed by Isao Takahata), Tokyo Story (1953, Yasujiro Ozu ), and Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974, Rainer Werner Fassbinder). Ozu is my favourite director of all time. Edited October 11, 2023 by LarryLEB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
