Greatest Canadian Films
Today is Canada Day and to celebrate I’ve compiled a list of the best Canadian movies of all time. What follows is a list of films spanning decades and covering a wide variety of genres, themes, and styles— and all made in Canada.
A few quick notes before moving ahead:
I’ve decided not to include short films so don’t expect something like Norman McLaren’s Neighbours to appear on the list.
As with all lists, the choices here are obviously subjective.
Normally, in the past, I would write one capsule review for each film but since I plan on releasing a list for every other year in the decade, I’ve instead decided to simply include one screenshot along with the official plot synopsis courtesy of IMDB.com. Sorry guys, but these lists are time-consuming, and I’ve quickly come to learn that most people don’t bother reading every capsule review either way— so why bother?
That out of the way, here are the 80 best Canadian movies, each represented by one perfect screenshot.
Special Mention: Sweet Movie (1974)
