Gallipoli
This is an all time classic Australian Movie. They say this is where Australia made it's bones, the birth of our nation on the battlefield of the Turkish Penninsuala.
It was filmed in 1981, in and around South Australia. Stars Mel gibson. A promising track star's running career is interrupted by Australia's entrance into World War I. Archy is an excellent candidate for the Olympics, and coached by his Uncle Jack - "How fast can you run?" "As fast as a leopard!" - he nonetheless abandons his athletic pursuits in order to do the patriotic thing - join up! The story of a group of young Australian men who leave their various backgrounds behind and sign up to join the ANZACs in World War I. They are sent to Gallipoli, where they encounter the might of the Turkish army. I highly recommend this Film. You should be able to find a torrent fairly easily.

Gallipoli was one of the greatest military disasters Austrlia ever suffered. Have you ever heard the song, "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda"? The first time I heard it, I couldn't even talk for a while.

Yes i have, Joan Baez, i have it downloaded, It also brings me to tears.
after that campaign Australia only fought under Aussie command. The losses were horrific, Churchill never recovered ater that, it haunted him till he died. The battlefeilds of France is where we suffered our worst casualties.
