Australia (2008)
Hugely enjoyable epic movie from Baz Luhrmann.
At two hours forty minutes it's probably too long but this Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman headliner constantly entertains as it lurches from comedy to western to wartime adventure with Aboriginal Walkabout's thrown in.
Luhrmann's photography is sumptuous and the film has several memorable sequences including a deadly cattle stampede straight out of Howard Hawk's Red River.
