Found the book at my local library. Here's a bit of info about the selections.
The final top 100 was the result of a combination of personal top 20 lists from 24 Australian film makers, critics and commentators. This included Phillip Noyce, David Stratton, David Caesar, Scott Hicks, Fenella Kernebone, Margaret Pomeranz, Richard Franklin and Scott Hocking to name a few.
'Contributors were asked to not only evaluate the work on its artistic, narrative and technical merits, but to also consider (where relevant) its cultural significance, the prior and post achievements of those behind and before the camera, whether the film is indicative of the time/period in which it was made, and, most importantly, to discuss elements that distinguish the film as being quintessentially Australian.'
Hope this provides some insight into the inclusion of certain films
