Hi Coldnorth
Many of the great (and not so great) American movies are actually shot in Canada. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver provide the backdrop for almost every US city. The next few times you watch an American movie read the credits at the end and you will see a lot of Canadian settings. Vancouver is referred to as "Holywood North". Also a lot of American TV shows are shot here.
Cheers,
Barry

some of the sports movies that are more like documentry's are good too. "The Rocket" a movie about Maurice Richard a player for the Montreal Canadiens is good for some french canadian hockey history lol. other than that i'm not sure...

I do agree with Oddball. By observation. knowing about the country, associating with the people and respecting & appreciating the culture one can learn, familiar and enjoy with the country's culture not by watching entertaining movies. I am trying to learn....coz I love Canada!

It's not a Canadian movie, but "Uncle Buck" with John Candy was always one of my lighthearted favourites.

I believe that movies reflect our culture, too. And if watching movies can help, why not?
