    I watched the movie Red Dog on DVD tonight. Great bloody movie and all so Australian. Worth a look.

    Great movie. Red dog actually did exist and was already a legend when I worked in the north in the early 80's.

    I wouldn't mind to pay an extra in taxes for the sole purpose of having more Aussie movies, instead of the US shows and their third class movies....

    Loved it! Wonderful movie - fabulous sound track and so very "Aussie"

    Definitely "our" sense of humour!

    Yeah,, the end was a bit sad, but that was to be expected.

    As Bowerbird mentioned, great sound track.

    I am the only one who clicked on your link. There is a vBulletin bug which means that your link does not work. I have fixed it above.

    It is a good Oz movie. Nothing like it.

    Pity they had to put a Seppo in it. Although the Yank actually worked well with the story, I thought.

    Better than the overly violent, gun toting, car chasing Yank offerings.

    American movies are generally crap!

    Red Dog is a pretty good movie but it couldn't compete with Old Yeller, Marley and Me, Grefriars Bobby and a host of other American animal films.

    There are several places that movie making has reached a fine art and Australia simply isn't one of them.
