Not long ago, Flicks, an Australian website, voted the best Australian film of the 21st century. Voted by 51 film critics from Australia, including 26 men and 25 women, it is also the largest film critic vote in the history of Australian cinema. A total of 25 films were selected for the selection, and director George Miller's 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road took the top spot.
"Mad Max: Fury Road" is regarded by fans as a classic B-movie masterpiece by fans with its eerie image style, and is regarded by many film critics as the best film of the year. It received 10 nominations, including Best Picture, at the 88th Academy Awards, and eventually won 6 awards including Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects, and Best Editing.
After mad Max: Fury Road grossed $379 million worldwide, fans eagerly awaited a sequel to the film, and even lead actors Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron expressed a desire to continue starring, but director George Miller's lawsuit against Warner Bros. could only delay the plan indefinitely.
In addition, the most well-known film on the list is the 2001 song and dance film "Moulin Rouge" starring Nicole Kidman and Ivan McGregor, which ranked 11th on the list; 2016's "The Lion", starring Dave Patel, which received six Oscar nominations and ranked 17th, which is also the latest film on the list; Adam Eliot's "Mary and Marx", which is called a healing animation, ranked 22nd; and The World War II film directed by Mel Gibson and starring Andrew Garfield. Hacksaw Ridge was ranked 23rd; Former Destination, starring Ethan Hawke and once released in China, ranked 25th.
