Anne of Green Gablesis arguably Canada’s most famous literary export. It’s also been the subject of multiple reworkings and reimaginings. There are, at last count, 15 film adaptations of the celebrated children’s novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Probably the most beloved of these is the 1985 TV film/miniseries. The telefilm covered the early adventur...
We couldn’t put together a list of quintessentially Canadian works without including Bob and Doug McKenzie. This madcap reimagining of Hamlet features the comedy duo of Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis reprising the roles that put them on the comedy map. The film itself is a love it or hate it affair, but if you enjoy the dimwitted duo of the Great Whi...
We’re cheating a bit with this one as Scott Pilgrim vs. the Worldisn’t technically a Canadian film; however, despite being a U.S. production, the film is in many ways a celebration of the city of Toronto. Few films place so much emphasis on the small details of their setting than this. From the Bathurst/Boor intersection to the Pizza Pizza restaura...
Winner of the 1997 Grand Prix at the Canne Film Festival, The Sweet Hereafter was heaped with praise when it was released in 1997. Adapted from Russel banks novel of the same name, the film deals with the aftermath of a major tragedy in a small town in British Columbia. Heart-rending to the extreme, the film not only explores the devastating effect...
Before becoming the current king of heady sci-fi, French-Canadian, Denis Villeneuve impressed audiences and critics alike with this devastating drama. Adapted from the stage play with the same name, Incendies tells the story of two siblings travelling from Canada to the Middle East to uncover their mother’s past. The film switches between the sibli...
Some may balk at the idea of a psycho-sexual body-horror about twin gynecologists being “quintessentially Canadian.” Still, it would be remiss of us to exclude the work of famous Ontarian David Cronenberg. Dead Ringers is a psychological thriller about two identical twins (both played by Jeremy Irons) who run a gynecological practice. You could swa...
Arguably the most important indigenous Canadian film of all time, Atanarjuat is the first movie to be written, directed, and performed in the Inuktitut language. The film is an epic retelling of stories from Inuit oral tradition. Often cited as the greatest Canadian film ever made, Atanarjuat is a vital addition to the countries cinematic landscape...
Mon Oncle Antoineis a coming-of-age piece and a snapshot of life in rural Quebec before the socio-political and cultural upheaval caused by the Asbestos Strike of 1949 and the Quiet Revolution. Highly regarded, the film is often cited as a classic of Canadian cinema. Watch Mon Oncle Antoineat NFB
It’s probably not the most flattering depiction of Canadian culture, but there’s no denying FUBAR’sgrungy appeal. Shot on a shoestring budget of $10,000 in Calgary, the scrappy comedy has gone on to become a bonafide cult classic and was successful enough to warrant a sequel and a TV show. Just give’r a try, you won’t be disappointed. Watch FUBARon...
Many horror films are shot in Canada, but few (aside from various Cronenberg films) are actually set in Canada. Ginger Snapsbucks this trend by locating itself in the fictional Ontarian town of Bailey Downs. The film itself is a largely successful amalgamation of the werewolf horror and coming-of-age drama.
