Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Doomsday Synopsis
In the English countryside, young Mary Viner has an opportunity to marry Arnold Furze, the hard-working but lonely owner of the oddly-named Doomsday Farm. He sacrifices a treasured stand of old trees to afford to bring the farm up-to-date for her, but when she considers the hard work she would do, marries the rich but otherwise inadequate local banker, to her regret.
The Jackeroo of Coolabong Synopsis
Brian O'Farrell (Snowy Baker), is an English 'new chum' who takes a job at an Australian cattle station. He is teased by station hands because of his appearance (including spats and a monocle) but he soon impresses them with his skills at riding and boxing. The station manager, John MacDonald (Wilfred Lucas), takes O'Farrell to Sydney to meet his daughter Edith (Kathleen Key) who is working in the slums. Edith is kidnapped by criminals after witnessing a crime but O'Farrell rescues her. It is later revealed he is the owner of the station.
"Doomsday" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
