Readers of this blog are surely familiar with the soft spot we have in our heart for the Australian film, “The Castle.”
We described it as “Kelo Down Under,” noting that despite its comic spin, the film accurately portrays why owners of property object to eminent domain (in Australia, “compulsory acquisition“). Eminently quotable, it captures “the vibe of the thing.”
Which is why we’re posting this piece that declares the movie, “the best Aussie movie of all time.” Why? The piece lists the reasons why. A bit click-baity, but still a good read.
