“The one that immediately got my eye and that I feel like I have to take is a good Australian classic, Breaker Morant. A Great War film, also a great courtroom drama, and this is one that I appreciated much more as I grew older because we used to watch it at school a lot and the first of ours is a boring war movie but the more that I watch it the more I get from it and particularly having such great Australian actors like Bryan Brown and Jack Thompson.”

Eric Bana

“One of my favorite Australian films. If you haven’t seen Breaker Morant, I thoroughly recommend it. Bruce Beresford directed this, and it has some really fantastic performances. Bryan Brown, one of our most famous Australian actors and living legend. It’s probably... If it’s not his greatest Performance, it’s right up there. But this is... This is a fantastic, fantastic film.”
