Foxtel will celebrate Australia Day with a weekend of smash-hit films starring Aussies

Foxtel will celebrate this year’s Australia Day by launching an ‘Aussies in Film’ pop-up channel, running from Friday January 25 to Monday January 28.

What better way to be patriotic than to plonk your caboose down and watch a crap load of movies? Preferably while wearing some kind of beer hat.

Subscribers will be able to watch/stream a tonne of smash-hit films starring a roll call of A list Aussie names. These include (deep breath) Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett, Chris Hemsworth, Margot Robbie, Eric Bana, Nicole Kidman, Heath Ledger, Rose Byrne, Russell Crowe, Toni Collette, Rebel Wilson, Joel Edgerton, Sam Worthington, Liam Hemsworth, Abbie Cornish, Guy Pearce, Mel Gibson, Naomi Watts, Hugo Weaving, Radha Mitchell and Kylie Minogue.

Films on the bill span a range of genres and include Thor: Ragnarok, The Greatest Showman, Bridesmaids, Black Hawk Down, I, Tonya, Braveheart, Avatar, The Insider and 10 Things I Hate About You.

These titles will be available in HD via tuning into Channel 404 or streaming through Foxtel On Demand.

Fair dinkum. Stone the crows. Get it into ya. ‘Straya!
