I've seen a few Aussie made war films over the years including
Gallipoli
Breaker Morant
The Lighthorsemen
Forty Thousand Horsemen
Cowra Breakout
The Rats of Tobruk
The Odd Angry Shot
Kokoda
Attack Force Z
The Last Bullet
Prisoners of the Sun
The Highest Honour

I'm sure there is few more I've forgotten about.

Add ANZAC's mini-series to the list.

there has been a WW1 tunnel one now too..Hill 61, or something??

and I'd probably recommend both 1980s Vietnam war mini-series, even though they will looks all, well, 80s, now..

I caught one with Miss Kidman in it a while back. What is the other one?

Beneath Hill 60 (2010)

I can't remember which is which, but I think she is in one simply called 'Vietnam"..

the other, which did not even come out too long b4 it, was called 'Sword of Honour", Andrew Clarke I think was top-bill..

they were both at least fair..

the sword refers to the ceremonial officer's sword,as Clarke's main character is a Duntroon officer's academy cadet, like the Australian Sandhurst/West Point..

yeah...it was ok, but it did not change my life or anything, I think there was maybe a UK one re the tunnels, as well..
