Australia's film industry is by no means as large like other English-speaking countries, but its movies does win on unique charm, we'd say.

Now you can binge on as many as you like, with a new streaming service dubbed Ozflix that's set to launch on Jan. 26, a.k.a. Australia Day. It wants to have every Australian movie, ever.

"We are committed to making Aussie films easily accessible to both our local and international audiences through the highest quality streaming technologies available and we are on our way to sourcing 'Every Aussie Movie. Ever,'" its website reads.

Ozflix doesn't have every Australian movie just yet, however. The service claims there are 2000 such films in existence.

There will be over 250 movies at launch, which will be plenty to get your fill. New release rentals will cost A$6.79 (US$5.10) and A$3.79 (US$2.85) for other films.

However, 50% of the money will go to the filmmaker or distributor. Not bad.

While you'd probably think of obvious Aussie film selections like Crocodile Dundee, The Castle or Muriel's Wedding; may we suggest a gander of the delightful Ozploitation films that are out there.

Don't just listen to us though, let film geek Quentin Tarantino talk about his love for Long Weekend -- a horror film -- in the documentary Not Quite Hollywood.

Ozflix's co-founder Ron Brown told Mashable via email around "10 per cent of films stream globally," which mean the rest will geo-blocked to Australia. He promises that they're working on it everyday and "it will expand."
