There has been a number of films named Crackerjack but the best was the 2002 Crackerjack shot in Melbourne starring Mick Molloy, Bill Hunter, Frank Wilson, Monica Maughan, John Clarke, Samuel Johnson, Judith Lucy and Tony Martin.

We watch this fabulous flick at least once a year and always get a laugh from this well written, acted and filmed Australian comedy.
