There should be a site that will let you stream movies made in the 70s and 80s, the golden age of Canadian cinema, when a lot of imaginative, fun to watch movies were made, mostly in Quebec.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was incredible in that role. Great movie. Def up there for me.

City tv when it was a real tv station used to play it every xmas
Interesting how many American and pseudo-Canadian films people name (eg Canadian Bacon which is a pure US film)
Problem is I suppose what exactly IS a Canadian movie?
You want culture, you want Canadian actors, filmed in Canada, or you want something else?
Statistically the biggest Canadian Film of all time is easy
Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds is Canadian and films are shot in Vancouver
Even IMDB will list it as a Canadian / US picture (most are US / Canada if you check, not this one since majority of cast and crew vastly outnumber US counterparts)
Other films that grossed lots of $$$
Big Fat Greek Wedding
It (& It 2)
Pacifier
etc
Fuck I see Saw series makes Top20 as well
Honestly if you want an ACTUAL pure Canadian film you really are stuck with French movies
Or the odd documentary

The pure Canadian films of the 70s and 80s were much better than more recent movies.
I am legit hard pressed to think of a pure Canadian film
The Wiki list someone else posted above is useless to me as I never heard of so many films on that list
This thread has tons of ones where its kinda half Can half US
Of course you can't think of them if you've never seen them. I've seen them so I can.
Except in Quebec. The rest of Canada has 'americanized' a lot the movie scene. But due to our language in Quebec we still have our own fully canadian production. That is why we still make some great movie here.
Someone also wrote Porky. This is the movie where Pee Wee finally loose is virginity in a bus with the girl all guys have fucked already? I think that is the one. That scene has been very important for me. I was like 12 or 13 but it did made me realize that when you want to get laid... you will! It took me a few years but I finally lost my virginity because I asked a girl that I wanted to... To my surprised she said yes. That scene came back to my mind when I fucked her... Well the 79 seconds that it took before I came haha
