Film lovers have voted for their favourite Australian movie of all time – and the winner is going straight to the pool room.
The Castle, made in Melbourne by Working Dog and dIrected by Rob Sitchk has come out on top of a reader poll in THE AGE and THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD.
At first glance, this is no surprise: any film that yields a slew of phrases still in popular use almost three decades after its debut “Tell him he’s dreaming” “How’s the serenity” “It’s the vibe” “You little ripper” was bound to perform strongly.
Yet the enduring appeal of the 1997s The Castle – a David and Goliath battle between the Kerrigan family and a greedy consortium attempting to :compulsory acquire” their home reflects the fact it is both of its time and timeless.
