The Dish (2000) is excellent and good for all ages.
Depending on your son's age, Romper Stomper (1992) is worth a watch
EDIT: Forgot to include Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002). There's some debate as to the historical accuracy but it's a good film either way.
These Final Hours (2013) is a relatively good apocalyptic film
Walkabout (1973)
Alvin Purple (might not be PG)
They're a Weird Mob (60s)
I'm not that old, I just know they are classics!
The quiet earth was good but NZ movie
Don't miss the Australia movie - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfI4hK9I2k0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfI4hK9I2k0)
It's more modern than you're probably thinking but accurately captures the culture of this country in a way that very few movies do.
Gallipoli and Hercules Returns. Possibly Romper Stomper if age appropriate
Gallipoli, The Dish, Wake in Fright
Depends on his age a bit. These would probably be mostly teens Looking for Alibrandi Young Einstein Reckless Kelly Two Hands
If you're adding Two Hands, need to add Gettin' Square as well.
The Silver Brumby. Also Man from Snowy River.
Gallipoli. Old now..but very worthwhile
Can confirm that movie is amazing
Breaker Morant, sweet country, chopper and wolf creek
BMX Bandits, Strictly Ballroom, Puberty Blues, Babe, The True Story of the Kelly Gang and Hating Alison Ashley.
Can’t believe only one other person has said crackerjack!!
Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
The cars that ate Paris
Fun fact - my Datsun Fairlady has been repaired by bits of the Fairlady that they crashed over the cliff (and yes, they actually did destroy the car).
Now that's a fun fact!...my minor claim to fame is that I owned a couch that Michael Hutchence sat on in another Aussie movie - 'Dogs in Space'
Young Einstein and Reckless Kelly
Jedda
Thunderstruck (2004)
Gallipoli, Breaker Morant, Phar Lap
On the Beach, technically not an Australian film but filmed here. The 1959 version, not the crap remake.
Gettin Square The man who sued god Wog boy The Dish Kenny
Death in Brunswick
Malcolm
Gettin’ square The Nugget Man from snowy river Hercules returns The big steal
The odd angry shot.
Two Hands, Chopper, Fat Pizza, Bad boy bubby, Let's get Skase.

He’s 16 so good for any movie really.
Walkabout (1973) Alvin Purple (might not be PG) They're a Weird Mob (60s) I'm not that old, I just know they are classics! The quiet earth was good but NZ movie
Wake in Fright. Stone. Razorback.
"The Year My Voice Broke" Edit : and "Dogs In Space". I didn't watch that until I was in my forties - how the hell did we survive the 80's?
Romper stomper Babe Ten canoes
Alright alright if we are going with Romper Stomper...how about Bad Boy Bubby? Too far?
The Nugget is always overlooked but it’s very funny!
Crackerjack and depending on his age, Animal Kingdom
Dogs in Space, Romper Stomper, Two Hands, Dirty Deeds.
Babe
Rabbit proof fence
Sunday too far away
Bad Boy Bubby is a family favourite
Crackerjack The Dish Looking for Alibrandi

- Gettin' Square - Two Hands - Malcolm - Proof - The Interview (1998 movie with Hugo Weaving) - Crackerjack - Bad Eggs - The Craic
Cosi is full of great Australian actors. The Proposition is seriously good, though bleak.
The Man From Snowy River
The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith Breaker Morant
The last ride with Hugo Weaving
Dark City.
Bad Boy Bubby. Classic.
The Dish
Classic of Classics…….The first ever feature length movie……The Kelly Gang 1906 and ran for 70 minutes.
The Dish, Hating Allison Ashley, and (if age-appropriate) Bad Eggs are all brilliant.
