Favourite Canadian Movies You Think Everyone Should Watch
Hey friends,
Hope everyone’s having a relaxing day so far! I was scrolling through some Canadian TV shows last night, and it made me think about something fun we rarely talk about — our favourite Canadian movies. Canada has such an underrated film industry, and honestly, some of the best Canadian movies never get the global recognition they deserve.
So I thought… why not start a little community list?
Whether you love emotional dramas, quirky comedies, Indigenous storytelling, or those classic National Film Board-style masterpieces, there are so many must-watch Canada films that truly capture what Canadian cinema is all about.
🎬 Some Iconic Canadian Films Worth Mentioning
Here are just a few that often pop up in conversations about the strongest pieces of Canadian cinema:
1. The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
A beautifully crafted drama that dives deep into small-town life, grief, and loss. Slow-paced but incredibly powerful.
2. Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006)
A fun action-comedy that perfectly blends English and French Canadian culture — and the jokes are still gold.
3. Incendies (2010)
Directed by Denis Villeneuve (yes, the same guy behind Dune & Arrival). This one is intense, emotional, and one of the most impactful Canadian movies ever made.
4. Room (2015)
Technically a Canadian co-production, but absolutely deserves a spot. Brilliant acting and unforgettable storytelling.
5. One Week (2008)
A simple but emotional cross-Canada journey that makes you fall in love with the country all over again.
📺 Bonus: If You Love Canadian TV Shows Too…
Don’t forget gems like Schitt’s Creek, Kim’s Convenience, Corner Gas, and Anne With an E. They prove that Canadian content is funny, heartfelt, and full of personality.
❤️ Why Canadian Films Matter
Canadian movies aren't just entertainment — they highlight our multicultural society, stunning landscapes, unique humour, and real-life struggles. Whether indie or mainstream, they bring stories that feel authentic and grounded.
Now it’s your turn!
