The Hurricane takes place in Toronto. The Decline of the American Empire and The Barbarian Invasions directed by Denys Arcand are really good. Hard Core Logo and Dance Me Outside directed by Bruce Macdonald. Joshua Then and Now is a movie starring James Woods that's based on a Mordecai Richler novel and takes place in Montreal.
This isn't a movie, but if you want a great Canadian show that depicts daily life in Toronto, may I suggest Being Erica? Canadians don't time-travel to fix their lives, ofcourse. CBC.ca Player

If we're going to get into Canadian TV, I've got a TON of even more quintessentially Canadian fare than Being Erica, which was made with the hope of marketing it to the US.
There is a Punjabi language movie Heaven on Earth which was set both in India and Brampton Ontario. It is about a young Indian woman who has an arranged marriage to an abusive husband.
There was a movie on Turner Classic Movies last night called 49th Parallel. It was a British movie filmed mostly in Canada and released in 1941. It was a wartime propaganda film about a stranded U-boat crew making their way across the nation and encountering various Canadians along the way. The only Canadian in the lead was Raymond Massey, playing an AWOL private, although Massey was much too old to be believable in that role. You should watch it at least for the pleasure of hearing Laurence Olivier giving his impersonation of a French-Canadian trapper!
Passchendaele Attack - YouTube
Alberta Filmed and Paul Gross Written, Directed and starred in movie Passchendaele was pretty Good one that Every Canadian should watch once in their lifetime..
Plus if you cut out the Middle love story part of the of the movie and Focus on the horrors and Lessons of WW1 esp Vimy ridge are so important to us and part of our History.
Not a "Canadian" themed movie by any means, but my favorite is the 1974 horror classic "Black Christmas", which was filmed in Toronto. The house in which the action takes place is hard to find, but it still looks the same today. Plus the campus scenes are obviously easy to pick out. Great chiller to watch around the holidays
Its not exactly a "great" movie but, Porkys was Produced by a Canadian company and is considred highest-grossing Canadian film of all time.
