He Died With A Felafel In His Hand (2001) An excellent film from Australian director Richard Lowenstein who presents a bitter-sweet portrait of the highs and lows of share household life, exploring the dynamics of desire and existence. Moving to three capitals, the film reflects upon the differing psychologies of Australia’s major cities. Lowenstein has described He Died With A Felafel In His Hand as the “emotional sequel” to his raw-edged drama, Dogs In Space (1986), with both films having a focus on the social phenomenon of inner-city share households.  Noah Taylor as Danny and Brett Stewart as Flip

Mad Dog Morgan (1976) Australian directed by Philippe Mora. A brutal bushranger film starring Dennis Hopper, Jack Thompson and David Gulpilil. It is based upon the life of Daniel Morgan (30 April 1830 – 9 April 1865) who was an Australian bushranger. Morgan has been described as "the most bloodthirsty ruffian that ever took to the bush in Australia"... With his corpse on display a customary trophy shoot photo is carried out, and while he lays there, officials haggle over Morgans's body parts for scientific examination... Dennis Hopper as Dan Morgan
The real-life scene 1865...

In the 1951 French film The Red Inn, the married couple who run the inn have a cute way of hiding the corpses of their victims: the exterior of the inn seems to be decorated with a lot of snowmen. . |

The Thirteenth Guest (1932)...  Ginger Rogers as " Marie? Morgan" was electrocuted.  Must have helped inspired "Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933) that came out the following year, and all the Wax film remakes later on... Ginger Rogers also plays " Lela? Morgan" in the Murder Mystery film as well. |

Not sure if film's in the late 1980s and Early 1990s are "Classics"... But how can Bernie Lomax be left off of this list? From "Weekend at Bernie's" (1989) & "Weekend at Bernie's II" (1993) It's your dead Boss, BERNIE, who embezzled money from the Company and wanted someone to murder you for discovering his criminal activites... But, you are safe as long as he is with you... Later you'll need him to find the stolen money...  In the second film, Bernie gets a little more animated thanks to some Voodoo... "Get On Up!" Later, the party gets to be real fun when he joins in on some Conga Line Dancing... |
