im watching waydowntown...haha great movie. any other films to suggest coming out of canada??

I think les invasions barbares is from quebec..no?

Canadian Bacon freak:


( before some guy goes "D00D THATS NOT FROM CANADA, IRAQ WAR IS GAY OIL!!213. " I know it's not from Canada. )

HAHAHAHA rock:

Canadian Bacon is a classic though biggrin:

Yeah, I agree. It's sort of like Dr. Strangelove.

Poking fun at world governments.

But back on topic.....


I know jeff ( ninty9 ) is a film buff, and he's canadian...so he should know a few.

"I want to say to Prime Minister MacDonald: Surrender her pronto, or we'll level Toronto." rock:

les invasions barbares is from Quebec, yes. Nominated for a lot of awards, I haven't had the chance to see it yet, however.

Other good Canadian Films:

Cube - Horror type film that is really original. Good movie. The second one was not as good, but decent. The third is coming out this year.

The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat) - I always wanted to se this film. It's an Inuit film.

Ararat is supposed to be pretty good as well.

Thats all I can think of right now.

Is that about Noah's ark in Mt. Ararat?

Strange Brew

S'all you need to know. biggrin:

This movie is sometimes on the Movie Network, ive caught a couple of glimpses of it, but It couldnt hold my interest.

No, its about the Armenian holocaust between 1915 and 1918.

And how could I forget Strange Brew. I have that sitting downstairs. Best Movie Ever. rock:

FUBAR

It's about Two headbangers from Calgary live the destructive rock n' roll life while dealing with their fear of mortality. FUBAR (an obscene acronym from the military) is an amazing accomplishment. It tore onto the scene at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001, after being turned down by the Toronto fest. The classic success story of guys who maxed out their credit cards (including their Canadian Tire cards) and took a giant leap into the uncertain future - and it paid off. Telefilm Canada decided to fund the movie (after it was already shot on digital video), and "beefed" the budget up to $350,000 (Cdn.) They did a good job promoting the movie through a soundtrack featuring Sum 41, Gob, Sloan, etc. doing classic Canadian headbangin' tunes. This movie has it all: hilarity and drunken hijinx, intense drama, and incredible acting (although I wonder how much the beer had to do with this). Go see this movie, it is much more than the trailers would suggest: much more than guys acting loud and stupid. It's actually a touching film, with a look at the two main character's fear of mortality.

FUBAR rocked.

Turn up the good, turn down the suck. You got the suck knob all the way up.

Strange Brew, Fubar...
