For some reason I associate it with Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert (more understandably) and Strictly Ballroom (less understandably). Also brilliant and entertaining films.

I love all those movies. On a recent re-viewing of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert I was surprised to see that Guy Pearce, who was in L.A. Confidential as Lt. Exley, was one of the drag queens.

Strictly Ballroom is my favorite of the bunch.

They are all Australian films, and very good, and I thought that there was a common director. But a quick look at amazon shows that they have different directors.

Baz Luhrmann Strictly Ballroom
P.J. Hogan Muriel’s Wedding
Stephan Elliott Priscilla …Desert
