One of the greatest cheese-movies of all time! Hilarious characters like Johnny Castle and "Baby", unbelievably stupid dance scenes, and some of the most ridiculous dialogue ever. What more could you ask for? This movie is guaranteed to make even the dumbest bloke feel smarter after watching it. A true classic.

The Gold and the Glory
(1984)
All the flash of the Gold Coast in one surprisingly good movie.

At first Coolangatta Gold seems pretty cheesy, but it turns out to be an entertaining movie. The acting is believable and you have to love the way the sand squeaks during the "running on the beach" scenes. Our bus driver reckoned that Coolangatta Gold is one of the few classic Australian films and I'd have to say that I agree with him. The sassy dirty dancing scene reminiscent of "Flashdance" is a great bonus as well.
Tougher Than Leather
(1988)
Who's House? Run's House!!!!

What can I say about this breakthrough movie? It's got all the making of a classic...intense special effects, great acting, Run DMC, nail-biting suspense, and the Beastie Boys. You can't help being drawn into the fast-paced story of revenge and greed. But I think its those tender, heart-warming moments that really make "Tougher than Leather" one of Run DMC's best films to date. Take for example the touching scene were Russell Simmons attempts to pick up 2 fly honeys....
RS - "Hey Baby you wanna do the wild thing?" FH1 - "No" RS - "Hey Baby you wanna do the wild thing?" FH2 - "Sure"
I tell you there was not a dry eye in the house. And that clever scene where Jam Master Jay attempts to get some information out of a bartender with the aid of his "rich friends" Benjamin Franklin and his twin brother. Simply brilliant.
But seriously folks: This movie was definitely worth the $2 Australian dollars (1.60 US) that we paid to rent it, but just barely.
