Crocodile Dundee
1986 · TMDB 6.5
Directed by Peter Faiman
When a New York reporter plucks crocodile hunter Mick Dundee from the Australian Outback for a visit to the Big Apple, it's a clash of cultures and a recipe for good-natured comedy as naïve Dundee negotiates the concrete jungle. He proves that his instincts are quite useful in the city and adeptly handles everything from wily muggers to high-society snoots without breaking a sweat.
Why it matters
Paul Hogan's Outback showman charms New York and the world, turning the bush into a punchline and a postcard. It is the friendliest possible introduction to a landscape that other Australian films treat as a living thing.
