1) Crocodile Dundee (1986) - soaring music, great acting from the 50 worders, really clever piece of business
2) Dad and Dave Come to Town (1938) - Dad and Dave back on the farm, all the kids making out, Dad and Mum join in... it's very sweet
3) Mad Max 2 (1981) - all the Mad Max films end well but the grin of Mel as he sees Bruce Spence is hard to beat
4) The Castle (1997) - so darn sweet with moments of sheer joy: Tony Martin cameo, "We've Only Just Begun", "at first I thought it was polite but he seems to really like it"
5) Love Serenade (1997) - a great shock and surprise that is completely logically
6) Babe (1995) - "that'll do pig"... sniff
7) Gallipoli (1981) - a whack to the emotional solar plexus... stunning
8) Strictly Ballroom (1992) - exhilaration, get to your feet and clap then everyone go and dance
9) Breaker Morant (1980) - history provides it but what history
10) Dogs in Space (1986) - an ending which is both joyous and heartbreaking
Honorable mentions to Jedda, The Long Weekend, Starstruck.
