Shaolin Soccer

Very popular HK film, good fun.

The Tracker

Fantastic Australian film about white / Aboriginal relations.

Walking On Water

Another Australian one, pretty mediocre drama...

DIRTY PRETTY THINGS -- is AMAZING!

SHAOLIN SOCCER -- AMAZING.

Waydowntown -- worth checking out.

Yeah Tracker was another good film in what would I guess is nearly a recognised genre (Australian films with Abbo trackers in them).

I've actually got the same question as Esskay on the queer films (yay for living in a city where Out Takes shows more than three films) with the addition of these ones: Ruthie and Connie, Hand on the Pulse, Family Fundamentals, Venus Boyz, Of Men and Gods. Anyone seen them?
