Australian films are going great guns at present, with a swag of local production acting as the proverbial prawns chucked on the barbie of acclaim. But while 2009 truly marks the renaissance of Aussie filmmaking, there have been many, many excellent films produced in this country over the years. Currently hanging with us Madman Crew is the lovely Alice, who (apart from being a true-blue little ripper and all-round top Sheila) is a Master of all things cinematic. She has loved Aussie film ever since she was tall enough to steal her older brother’s VHS copy of BAD BOY BUBBY (which was, coincidentally, also the moment her bizarre school-girl crush on Nicholas Hope began…), so who better to tell us their Top Ten Aussie films?
