Well, anyone who has taken a close look at this site can probably work out what my favorite film of all time is… however it would appear that my favorite movie, The Castle has been voted Australias Favourite Movie of all time.

The Castle was announced as Australia’s favourite film at the L’Oreal AFI Awardsin 2008. It won the award ahead of four short listed Australian films – Gallipoli, Lantana, Muriel’s Wedding and The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

In recognition of 50 years of the AFI, a public poll was conducted in late July by the AFI in association with Australia Post. The public voted online at the AFI website which had an extensive choice of Australian films. In recognition of the public vote, five films were chosen. These appeared as five stamps and were released as the Favourite Australian Films stamp issue on 3 November 2008.

Anyway, for anyone you know who is a fan of the movie – make sure you send them the link to this site! As we have a great range of “The Castle” T Shirts such as: Bonnie Doon T Shirts, Straight to the Pool Room T Shirts, and Tell Him Hes Dreaming T Shirts. A must for any Castle Fan!

At Echidna, one thing we love just about as much as Australian T Shirts and Aussie Clothing is funny videos and clips from home. With this in mind we have recently created a page we call “Funny Aussie Videos ” (check out www.echidnaclothing.com/coollink_1.htm ) that shows some of our favorite short clips from home. We have stuck some great clips on here, from Ronnie Johns playing Chopper Read, a bit of Reg Reagan for the footy fans and of course plenty of clips from “The Castle” our favourite movie – ever!

We love the chopper videos - our favourite is Chopper reading the weather forecast: “Alice Springs….. I’ll give you the forecast for the next 100 years…. Its going to be F*cking hot, and when its not hot its going to be f*cking wet!” . Pure gold from Uncle Chop Chop.

Anyway, in addition to what we have put up now, and what we will be putting up in the future, if you find a decent video that you think we will like – drop us a line to info@echidnaclothing.com with the link and we will post it up on this page. And remember for a laugh send the link for this page to your mates - especially those overseas as a bit of an Aussie Gift that costs you nothing!
