80s Movies That Made Me Love (And Want To Visit) America

2. Crocodile Dundee

Upon my introduction to the wonderful world that is the internet, I have actually talked to Americans whom are in the belief that we Aussies actually do wrestle crocodiles, eat snakes and have pet kangaroos in our backyard. Although - living in the outback - we actually did have kangaroos in our backyards from time to time. Now unlike some of the Neanderthals out there I don't class this as being stupid, it's merely a case of cultural naivety. Just like the only thing I know about Jewish people is from what they tell me on South Park and Family Guy, and I don't exactly take their definitions to heart.

But there was a part of me that wanted to exploit this in my unfulfilled dreams of travelling the States that are United. Some may call it sadism, some may call it sexist, some may call it irresponsible, it might even be classed as a type of douchebaggery. But I can only assure you that yes, even though part of me wanted to "take advantage" of these cultural misconceptions, there was a desire to educate people about my beloved country underneath my perceived evil intentions. And if it won me the heart of one of those previously mentioned girls I hope to take to a prom, then I am both guilty of and sorry of even contemplating that type of truth stretching.

But of course, the only wishes from the heart of all children (and those of us whom have yet to succumb to the ravages of age and its mentality) is to be entertained. And that is why there are two films which occupy the top slot.
