Greatest Movies Set in Canada

Jul 1, 2017

TOP 12! Numbers 9-12 are all ones I haven’t seen, which explains why they are in the position they are. They make the list because of the amount of times I’ve heard them described as good, great, awesome, etc. I simply ordered them according to their IMDb score. And in this 150th year it is my goal to watch all four of these movies before Jan 1/2018.

Numbers 1-8 are ranked according to my own opinion, which just has to be right.

12. Bon Cop Bad Cop (2006, 7.0)

11. One Week (2008, 7.1)

9. TIE: The Red Violin (1998, 7.7) and Brokeback Mountain (2005, 7.7)

8. The Shipping News (2001)7. Anne of Green Gables (1985)6. Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010)5. Maudie (2016)4. Canadian Bacon (1995)3. The Grand Seduction (2013)2. Strange Brew (1983)1. Incendies (2010)

Happy Birthday Canada.
