Australian films are less popular today than they were decades ago. Consider the following statistics from recent Australian film history.

Between 1973 and 1992, six Australian films were the most popular film of the year at the Australian box office. These films were: Alvin Purple (1973), Gallipoli (1981), The Man from Snowy River (1982), Crocodile Dundee (1986), Crocodile Dundee II (1988,) and Strictly Ballroom (1992.)
