That sounds like a good movie. Suprisingly enough, I haven't seen it even though I lived up north...But I do remember seeing the making of it on the APTN. Now I have to see it!

Do, Jo. I found it really insightful - I kept losing track of the plot, though; the landscape was so compelling I neglected to read the subtitles and just stared at it. Highly recommended.

You should see it in real life, you'd never want to leave. #6

Men With Brooms is excellent. I've mentioned The Corporation before. There's that werewolf movie about the two sisters...sorry but I can't remember the name. Blackrobe is good too. Not bad...4 movies from 4 different genres just off the top of my head.

Just watched Last NIght... well, last night.
It is probably the best of the end-of-the-world genre I've ever seen. It focuses on a handful of people in Toronto on the last night of earth. Absolutely brilliant.

There is way more movies because we actually go see them. 
According to this article, 13.8% of the Québec's theatre assistance (2004) were generated by Québec's movies.

It only counts theatre assistance, it would probably go well up if movie renting were included.

Would "The Shipping News" be considered Canadian? Just by filming it in Newfoundland should count for something,eh? Anyway,it's a good film.

Oh my god - "Rock and Rule" is coming out on DVD? That's hilarious! Debbie Harry is in that movie!
Good Canadian films:
"Highway 61"
"Kissed"
Anything by Atom Egoyan especially "The Sweet Hereafter", "Exotica", or "Ararat"
Anything by David Cronenberg

The shipping news is such a good book!!! I didn't think the movie lived up to the book, but they rarely do.

it's true that quebec movies get way more audiance than canadian movies, but maybe it's because we go more often at movies theatres ? Le Survenant made it to the top 20 in term of profit for the whole north america, and it's only presented in quebec...

I've seen a few Quebec movies. Cheap and boring don't seem to fit their profile. First they don't have the hollywood budget but they end up making up for that with story, content, and character development. Unforunately I don't remember any titles, I can't speak a lick of french. The last one I saw had a community with the name of Bear in it. Subtitles are great but my other half (who speaks french) say the subtitles are horribly misconscrued.everything made in Québec was seen as cheap, boring and couldn't compete with the American market

Arat (SP??) was really good. Don't ask me who was in it, or who directed it....detail, details.
It was about Armenian genocide in perpetrated by the Turks.

Les Boys (I own all three on dvd)
Lotus Eaters
I Love a Man in Uniform
The bottom two are in English. Actually, if you want to find out about good Canadian films, watch CBC after Zed every weeknight. They usually air a movie, and at times it'll be Canadian movies. That's how I found out about the above three movies, which I finally own copies of.
