Top 20 Canadian Movies

Canadian cinema refers to the filmmaking industry in Canada. Canada is home to several film studios centres, primarily located in its three largest cities: Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. Industries and communities tend to be regional and niche in nature. Approximately 970 Anglophone-Canadian and 620 Francophone-Canadian feature-length films have been produced, or partially produced by the Canadian film industry since 1911.

The most critically acclaimed filmmakers from English Canada include David Cronenberg, Guy Maddin, Atom Egoyan, Allan King, and Michael Snow. The most critically acclaimed filmmakers from French Canada include Claude Jutra, Gilles Carle, Denys Arcand, Jean Beaudin, Robert Lepage, Denis Villeneuve and Michel Brault. Some Canadians migrate to the American industry in search of successful careers - Canadian filmmakers such as Norman Jewison, Jason Reitman, Paul Haggis and James Cameron have all received accolades and awards from the world's most prestigious honorary organizations, and have enjoyed commercial success as well. James Cameron, in particular, wrote and directed the highest and second-highest grossing films ever, Avatar and Titanic, respectively.

I LOOOOVE Leolo. Can someone explain to me the significance of Wavelength? I watched it and hated it. It's literally nothing.
