What is the all time best/most influential Canadian film?

[itd131]

Strange Brew

Gotta mention Bruce McDonald and Denys Arcard as best director/film makers. Between them there is a lot of classic Canadian stuff - Roadkill, Hard Core Logo, Jesus de Montreal, Les Invasions Barbares, etc. that all qualifies.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the Barbarian Invasions by Danys Arcand, according to me the best Canadian film since Joshua Then And Now.

It's a great, high quality flick and Canadian to the core.

 

[Insidious Von]

How could he not include "Chopper" ? Eric Bana was amazing in it.

I haven't seen Chopper, I've been told it's the Oz version of Bronson.

Completely the opposite of Bronson, which to me was boring and pointless. Chopper was pointless, but not boring. Friggin amazing movie.imo

Don McKeller's Last Night should also be included.

Don McKeller's Last Night should also be included.

The premise was interesting, but I found it unconvincing. I thought that Melancholia, which had a similar theme, was much better, alas not a Canadian film.

 

[Insidious Von]

Bronson boring, nihilistic yes, boring hell no.

 

[Fun For All]

I liked he show better but the movie was good too...

 

[unassuming]

Meat Balls!

I second this.

Bill Murray was great it in:

2 pages in, and no mention of Porky’s ?

 

[jerimander]

I would say the top two are Mon Oncle Antoine and Jesus of Montreal.

 

[redshank]

2 pages in, and no mention of Porky’s ?

Was just going to say Porky's. I think because it is set in Florida it's not thought of as Canadian

 

[Indiana]

The last good Canadian movie I saw was Owning Mahowny.
(2003)

2 pages in, and no mention of Porky’s ?

Porky’s is arguably the most influential Canadian movie. It helped to usher in an era of sex comedies.

Who could ever forget Kim Cattrall aka as Lassie.

Porky's the stuff of high school wet dreams LOL
