I'm adding today (02/05/2014) box office results for these films via information from Wikipedia. I'll try and add data about how many AFI (i.e. Australian Film Institute) Awards some of these films got as well...but I won't be fanatical about this.

N.B. The A.F.I. Awards are now knows as AACTA Awards! Wikipedia states:

"The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Award, known as the AACTA Awards".

I initially started out giving Wikipedia box office results in Australia for a small number of films but am now using the Screen Australia link for top 100 Australian movies of all time box office returns...which I think Wikipedia maybe citing in any case. The all time box office ranking also comes via Screen Australia's list of the top 100 grossing Australian movies of all time, in Australia.

*N.B. I should point out that the order of box office takings films would no doubt change once you adjust for inflation...which these rankings aren't...see an example of this in my entry for "Crocodile Dundee".

[P.S. I've added the number to my list heading as sporting cultural reference. One of these days I'll work on this list to make it 'end' with that number of films in it but to do that I'll probably have to remove some titles and mention them in other titles, e.g. where the removed film was a sequel and I mention all sequels in the entry for the first in the series. Maybe a good final list is one that ends for the year 2025 with all Australian best film award winners included. N.B. IMDB's "Save list order" feature is a troll when it comes to tinkering with the order to alphebatise it.]
