Originally intended to make this a poll but scrapped the idea as there's just to much out there that can be discussed seriously or appreciated comically. There's a host of movie genres from action, comedy, sports and drama that it's pretty much impossible to put together a limited number in just one poll.

What film fills you (:pause:) with such patriotic pride, you're like "damn, I'm blessed to be from this country?"

Fellow borks, canucks, chazzwazzers or wherever the fuck you're from, please feel free to also chime in with what movies fill you (:pause:) with patriotic pride.

First thing that came to mind, one of the better documentaries I've seen as well.

Rocky IV

Armageddon

Rocky 4

and for some reason, i have no idea why,

Conan the Barbarian.

Fubar.

Couldn't really say why, though.

rocky 4, both us and russian pride in one shot.

once upon a time in america for some odd reason

Probably "The Castle" to be honest. Patriotic pride is somewhat the wrong term but it's def an Aussie classic.

do auzzies hate how most of the cinematic world portrays them?

between dark themed stuff like mad max and the proposition and on the other hand the silliness of quigley down under, crocodile dundee, the career of yahoo serious.... really not putting the continent in good light

Nah, I don't think so. Like I think The Simpsons ep on Australia is hilarious. Maybe poor attempts at accents are annoying but besides that it's all good.

And you really shouldn't besmirch Yahoo's name like that.
