You take that back troll, New Zealand makes great movies, some notable ones which are good whether rated by you or not -


No. 2
Scarfies
Stickmen
Whale Rider
River Queen
Crooked Earth
Sione's Wedding
Heavenly Creatures
Once Were Warriors
The World's Fastest Indian
What Becomes of the Broken Hearted


Wikipedia (obviously) has a big list of New Zealand feature films (en.wikipedia.org).

631980 2008-01-20 05:49:00 Let's not forget Vigil and The Navigator.

Let's also not be confused by what is a NZ film. LOTR, River Queen and The Frighteners were made in NZ with NZ producers but financed by overseas, not by NZ, otherwise any film made in NZ should be considered eg The Last Samurai.

Some are obviously "Made in NZ...for Hollywood" (Bridge to Terabithia, and the coming movies 30 Days of Night and The Lovely Bones), but others can only be considered "Made in NZ".

and anything with Bruno Lawrence in it, he was cool.
Also Beyond Reasonable Doubt, about the Authur Allen Thomas case was good

631986 2008-01-20 07:55:00 I just found the music video from a song made for the offensive behaviour movie. youtube.com

Too bad they never released a soundtrack to the movie - there was a lot of good music on it.


I liked meet the feebles, but it probably wouldn't appeal to any "normal" people here
