Malcolm (1986) HD Official Trailer

Nadia Tass's Malcolm was originally released in 1986 and struck a national chord with the Australian public as a genuine expression of offbeat Australian humour.

This charming comedy is the story of slow-witted Malcolm (Colin Friels, Dingo) a young man with a genius for mechanical devices. When Malcolm loses his job as a conductor - for building his own tram - he meets Frank (John Hargreaves, Long Weekend) a man with a shady past who moves in to help Malcolm pay the bills. Sue Malcolm's unusual entry into a life of crime.

Assisted by Frank, and the remote control tinker toys he once used to pick up milk from the corner shop, Malcolm lays his plans to pull off the heist of the century.

Accompanied by an infectious music score, you can again witness the magical combination of invention and true originality that saw Malcolm win 8 AFI Awards, including Best Film, in 1986.

Director: Nadia Tass
Cast: Colin Friels, John Hargreaves, Lindy Davies, Chris Haywood, Charles "Bud" Tingwell

I saw this as a kid and never forgot it. I tried to describe it years ago to friends that were into movies and no one had ever heard of it. It wasn’t until recent years that ‘get away car splits in half’ actually spat back the movie ‘Malcolm’

One of the best Aussie movies ever, I loved it so much. Never seen a more original concept for a movie than this! An I love the story about how they used the bin prop to get the backing to make it. 😘👌😆

Best Aussie movie, made Australia more intriguing and a place I would eventually call home. Malcolm is awesome!

Great movie. Nice and funny. Love the ashtray/bin scene. Good to see Melbourne as it was and the tram on the Miller St. bridge at the end. A blast from the past.

Oh man! The first song just randomly popped into my head the other day. I couldn't remember the film and was searching like mad! Finally found it. Remember watching this film as a kid.

30 Sept 23 and I'm watching this. I forgot how good it was. The bloke laughing on the pub floor after the shovel hit still has me laughing! Hargreaves was great in this. (I'm supposed to be watching a Duran Duran special for my friends - ain't seen a dickie bird of it. Sigh.)
