Sometimes, preparing for a trip can be half the fun of travel. The excitement, the research and the anticipation of knowing you’ll be jetting across the globe all combine to make a simple trip more of an experience. To help with this, I’ve compiled a list (with the help of my lovely Twitter friends) of movies that are about or set in Australia to start watching in preparation of your upcoming trip to Down Under.
Although it didn’t get the best reviews, Australia is a movie that provides heaps of history into Oz during World War II. It also provides viewers with a bit of eye candy given Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman take on the starring roles.
Crocodile Dundee became a worldwide phenomena when released in 1986. It’s a comedy that features the story of Michael J. “Crocodile” Dundee (played by Paul Hogan), a man that lives in the outback of Australia as one with nature (wrestling crocs when necessary), who is researched for a story by a NYC journalist (played by Linda Kozlowski).
