Answer 1

yeahhh theres this movie called

"the whale rider"

im pretty sure thats what its called

i watched it when i was like 10

its got a lot about Maori history.

Answer 2

Goodbye Pork Pie for comedy (though perhaps it is a bit of a dated form of comedy).

Number 2 or Sione's Wedding was very good about NZ's pacific influence.

Whale Rider - beautiful and could help with the 'heritage' part of your question

Answer 4

Living in New Zealand by Thor Edwards is a fine film

Answer 5

"The Piano" is set in 19th century New Zealand.  Almost all of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was filmed in NZ if you need to know what some of the country looks like. You could also look for Billy Connellys "Word Tour of New Zealand" which may be out on DVD, it was a recent TV series.

Answer 6

The Frighteners - flimed in Christchurch, Peter Jackson film with Michael J Fox in it.
