Yeah um that list you read is ok but if you want the best NZ film ever made check out "Bad Blood" the Stanley Graham story.
There is a few more I could mention but Bad Blood is a fantastic yarn and it was true!! It really did happen.
So you know my tastes my fav movie list is USUAL SUSPECTS, THE KINGDOM, SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, INGLOURUS BASTARDS to name just a few, please if you only see 1 more kiwi film let it be Bad Blood (its old but good)
Hello I'm Twice Nightly! Tonights news
A severed foot is an alternate stocking filler?

"Second Hand Wedding". I think is the one you mean, quite heart warming ?!

This will provide most of what you want regarding Bad Blood, including an mp4 clip and a link to where you can legally view the movie online.

IMO "In my Father's Den" (2004) is the best NZ movie to date. Other noteworthy films that spring to mind in addition to the two in your post are "Heavenly Creatures" (1994), "Smash Palace" (1981) and "Sleeping Dogs" (1977). Also the more recent films "Show of Hands" (2008) and "Piece of my Heart" (2009) are worth seeing.

Piece of My Heart and Show of Hands are TV movies. Good movies yes; especially Piece of My Heart, but mentioning them is probably a bit pointless unless they're going to be released on DVD. :-)

Not sure if anyone mentioned "An Angel at My Table," the fantastic "Out of the Blue" (based on true events), the compelling documentary "This Way of Life," "Goodbye Pork Pie" and the one I just finished watching of course, "Boy!"
I thought instead of going through all the fantastic ones I've ordered over here online to watch, I've found this link from N.Z. which lists all it's movies alphabetically.
http://www.nzvideos.org/Alphalist.html
and this link is that websites 'First Choices' meaning ones they'd highly recommend.
http://www.nzvideos.org/firstchoices.html
Hope these help some of you and from the 25+ I've seen, I'd highly recommend watching as many as you can. I truly think most of the films (with the exception of a few), have a universal message and even if you don't get a little, you will definitely get a lot!!

Better than most on the list there is 'The Ugly'.
Also, 'The Whole of the Moon' is a tear-jerker extraordinaire

You should seek out some NZ short films. They're fantastic and, in my opinion, ground-breaking for the entire industry.
'Kitchen Sink' is the best Kiwi short film ever - it's a great representation of not only NZ films, but Kiwi style and humor.

"The quiet earth" is a completely different film, but a cult classic that is well worth a look.

You should definitely check out Two Little Boys. Stars Brett from Flight of the Conchords and is a great comedy.

Just watched another great one, "The Dark Horse". Based on a true story - interesting and also a sort of, "feel good movie" without being trite or over the top. I would encourage you to look it up. I happened upon it on a long plane trip. It's on Amazon.
Cheers.
