Best Aussie doco yet

Having grown up watching these films, it was a pleasure to watch Not Quite Hollywood. It was fast paced and fascinating, the stories were funny and interesting, not at all like the dry boring documentaries that are being put out lately. I would have liked to have seen certain movies mentioned like, Last Of The Knucklemen, The Night The Hunter, The Plumber and Mama's Gone A Hunting, but it covered many long lost gems. Many of these films are among Australia's Lost Films, lost because a certain Premier leased them all to a Panama based company. It is good to see that they are gradually trickling back, but in the meantime, we have this excellent documentary to remind of that we once had a thriving and vibrant film industry.
