Do you watch these "American" films while on the "shitter" cutting up the American flag? What a hypocrit! I'd like to watch an Aussie western...if I could find one. Do the Aborigines attack on ponies and give a "war whoop"?
Originally posted by chancremechanicAs Bosse de Nage said, The Proposition (2005) is an excellent "Aussie Western". Also, Ned Kelly (2003) is a powerful film. Actually, a movie called Ned Kelly and His Gang was the first motion picture and the first western movie made in the whole world in 1906.The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith (1978) is a moving look from the Aboriginal standpoint. Hell, even Tom Selleck made a western here called Quigley Down Under (1990). There is Mad Dog Morgan (1976) with Dennis Hopper as well.

The aboriginals of colonial Australia were a stone age people, and ruthlessly abused by the Crown of England. When they were provoked to attack, they were soundless. mutch to the suprise ofthe settlers.

Edit: That's what I get for not reading this thread it has already been mentioned. But anyway it is one of Tom Sellecks best cowboy films. A good one. Heck of a rifle shot. Sharps Rifle.
