I decided I should post a little comment of gratitude after watching each of the recommended films.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople took me back to being a little kid, reading the likes of Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe.

Made me think of the kind of boy's own adventures that the (probably underappreciated) Ripping yarns parodied/revered.

Getting Sam Neill for this project must have been a bit of a coup before Taika Waititi really hit the big time with Marvel.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I initially thought that too, that getting Neill would have been a huge effort, but I suppose he's also a Kiwi and Taika may have already had the connection over the years.
