Screen Australia posted a list of ‘Favourite Australian Love Stories’ in honour of Valantine’s Day on their YouTube Channel.

It’s interesting as it is sometimes said that Australia doesn’t make ‘romantic comedies,’ yet SA has come up with a list of 30. However Muriel’s Wedding is the first, and it doesn’t have a ‘man and woman’ scenario unless you figure the two lead women are the romantic couple!

The top ten:

1. Muriel’s Wedding
2. Australia
3. Samson & Delilah
4. A Few Best Men
5. Crocodile Dundee
6. Crocodile Dundee II
7. Any Questions for Ben?
8. The Man From Snowy River
9. The Delinquents
10. We of the Never Never

Of more interest than many of these, for me, are

12. Dating The Enemy (onya Megan Simpson Huberman!)
14. I Love You Too
15. Oscar and Lucinda
16. Love and Other Catastrophes
18. The Year My Voice Broke
24. Angel Baby
