MOVING OUT was screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival this year. Vince Colosimo, Sally Cooper, Desiree Smith, director Michael Pattinson & screenwriter Jan Sardi were in attendance. Was great.

I can see my flat on Wellington st commission flats,the fish shop on the corner on hoddle st was where I spent all my lunch money playing Galaga or frogger. I still remember when they were building the foot bridge on hoddle st where they tagged the ford label off the taxi,The name of the lady who owned the fish & chip shop was a Greek lady named Maria. WOW what memories,I still live in collingwood but not in the commission flats anymore.Collinwood has changed so much it's bloody trendy now!!

[@nocomment4848]

yeah i remember different milk bars used to have diff arcade games. There was one just off Wellington road that had bubble bobble that was always popular with the commission flat kids

[@TheWogboy440]

Watching these good old Aussie Classics brings back so many memories, exp this scene hanging out with mates , Milk Bars , fish n chip shops and Being Ethnic in Melbourne trying to fit in. Miss those days. !!!!

[@anonymousr1918]

Melbourne is unrecognisable these days.

[@Magpie_Mark92]

That old milkbar on hoddle street was later a live music venue i went there a few times to see my mates band play there

Love the headlines at the milkbar "Prisoner star in porno shock" Wonder who that could be??? Lizzie maybe!

[@suicidebysasquatch4873]

Was Deb Byrne ever in Prisoner.Cant think who else

[@beaksofeagles]

Check the position of the apostrophe - more than one star was shocked! Here's what it was about: "In 1980 the Prisoner cast, led by Equity representative Val Lehman (Bea Smith), went on strike due to the content of tie-in paperback novels published by Pinnacle Books in the United States: soft-core pornography at odds with the series. Six books were published: Prisoner: Cell Block H, The Franky Doyle Story, The Karen Travers Story, The Frustrations of Vera, The Reign of Queen Bea and The Trials of Erica."

[@jamesgovett2501]

Beaut 1st aussie R-series Valiant, wonder whether it survived and hopefully put back to stock condition there again it was 39 years ago and the car was already around 22 years old! I remember my old man bought the first R-series when I was a youngster the first had American panels and identified from the S-series because of the spare wheel impression on the trunk lid, he always has Studebakers and this was a deviation for a short period from those cars for him as he always said they copied Studebaker around the grille and he liked the look of them he had it for a few years and sold it to another family member then went back to studebaker

[@semmy5244]

Weird seeing my apartment, looked pretty empty back then

No wonder we weren’t popular with our movies

[@Gezza1967]

I’ve always loved 20th century Aussie television and movies, because of it’s completely different to anywhere else!

[@nocomment4848]

Pretty crappy in their day, they're far more enjoyable to watch nowadays as it's a a time capsule to what we've lost. Malcolm is another cool 80s aussie film ive just discovered

Aaah my eyes! The aspect ratio of this clip is wrong, it looks squeezed.

[@Gezza1967]

Sorry Hayley, when I started transferring vhs/dvd to digital I’d never hear of aspect ratio in 2008, besides the original software I purchased would transfer very clunky as well.
