"Ozploitation. Not The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – we're talking about Australian genre cinema of the 70s and 80s! In the early 70s, Australia's government decided to create Australia's own cinema culture by founding the Australian Film Commision.

You've probably already watched some great ozploitation films without knowing it, namely George Miller's "Mad Max" series, but that's hardly scratching the surface. Here are 10 great ozploitation flicks you've never seen."
