Great Moments In Cinema...

And TV - Part 12

The final scene from "The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert"... Mamma Mia!

One of my favourite films, that I had to wait an absolute AGE for until it was released on DVD!

Starring Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce as 3 Australian Drag Queens (okay, a transsexual and 2 queens) on a bus trip to the middle of the Aussie desert, and their adventures on the way.

Why Should You See This Film?: Great music (if you ignore "Finally" by Ce Ce Peniston... god, how I hate that song), some of the bitchiest lines this side of Christendom ("Just what this country needs... A cock in a frock on a rock"), colourful costumes, ping-pong balls (if you've seen the film, you'll know what I mean... If not, I ain't explaining)... In short, just great fun!
