Do you mean born in Canada, or are immigrants ok? 1st or 2nd generation? What if one parent is 1st generation but the other a landed immigrant? :wink:

Well you could always start with these small but effective Canadian movies....

I've seen a lot of Canadian movies, and liked most of them. Decline of the American Empire was good, although I'm not sure it was a favourite. There was a movie recently with Sarah Polley that I think was Canadian, 'My Life As Me', or something like that, it was excellent. Why can't I think of the proper name, it is completely eluding me.

 

[I think not]

From Jay's list I have only seen The Red Violin, I had no idea it was Canadian, but I enjoyed it since the violin is an instrument I play.

 

[Jay]

Ya I saw that too....You play the violin?

 

[I think not]

Yep, 14 years now.

 

[Jay]

Sure why not.......and I play the Tuba. :wink:

Well, I loved all the Anne of Green Gables movies but I suppose those are miniseries so don't count for this. CBC used to give us so many good movies but of late there aren't all that many. The only one from the last couple years that comes to mind is Prairie Giant: The Tommy Douglas Story which was done so well.

I can't think of any Canadian movies right now.
