You don’t really need anyone to tell you this is a Baz Luhrmann film. Focussing on a stage-set pastime (ballroom dancing) with fantastically over the top characters and a very Australian film, this is distinctive Luhrmann through and through. Focussing on a ballroom dancing prodigy (Paul Mercurio, though you’ll swear blind its Guy Pearce), shunned from the ballroom world after using his own moves in a competition, left with only a dowdy aspiring dancer as a partner he must re-infiltrate the dancing competition to regain his place. Ignore the sequinned backdrop, this is a genuinely hilarious movie, if only for the ridiculous levels of devotion the characters have for their hobby. Choose film 7/10

Though he's better known for films like "Moulin Rouge!" and "Australia" in the U.S., the film that truly defines writer/director Baz Luhrmann as an artist is "Strictly Ballroom." Released in 1992 to great acclaim, the film -- which stars Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice as a pair of mismatched competitive ballroom dancers -- was born out of a stage show that Luhrmann originally conceived of as a student at Sydney's National Institute of Drama.
