Which is the best film directed by legendary Aussie filmmaker Peter Weir?

Akijama · 12-29-2015, 06:10 PM

I voted for Picnic at Hanging Rock, though, Gallipoli is also a great and powerful movie. Very underrated director, btw. One of the very best out there.

Picnic At Hanging Rock is an all-time great film imo.

Have some fond childhood memories of seeing Dead Poet's Society...it's very good...but it's no Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Green Card is one of the most underrated romantic comedies ever.

Has to be Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Toss-up between Picnic and The Last Wave, both of which I consider brilliant. Went with the latter since it will get less votes.

Went with Witness on this one it stands out the most to me.

Picnic at Hanging Rock is his best, but I absolutely love The Mosquito Coast and Green Card.

Witness is among my favs of all time, but Weir's body of work is incredible. I had no idea he did so many great movies.

I've seen all but The Way Back and it would be Truman Show for me. Dead Poets Society is his second best piece.

Dead Poets Society gets my vote, but I haven't watched Picnic at Hanging Rock. Guess I need to give it a watch.
