are regarded by many as a 'golden age' of Australian cinema, with many successful films, from the dark science fiction of "Mad Max" (George Miller, 1979) to the romantic comedy of "Crocodile Dundee" (Peter Faiman, 1986) and the emergence of such film directing auteurs as Gillian Armstrong, Phillip Noyce and Bruce Beresford. A major theme of Australian cinema which matured in the 1970s was one of survival in the harsh Australian landscape. A number of thrillers and horror films dubbed "outback gothic" have been created, including "Wake in Fright", "Walkabout", "The Cars That Ate Paris" and "Picnic at Hanging Rock"
