Okay, so this was a personal challenge that didn't end up being much of a challenge. I originally thought I'd have to scramble to find three let alone five, but hey no sweat Eh?
The Shipping News, when I first saw this movie back in 2003, it held me spellbound. You have a story about a guy who is so lost, he allows a stranger to talk him into moving to a new country, after only knowing them for a few minutes. It's one of the ultimate starting over films, while being a find yourself/journey to recovery stories. Down to the Dirt. I've talked about this before on other blogs, and it's still one of my favourite Canadian films. It follows a couple as they deal with their addictions, their dreams and their journey to find love.
Grand Seduction. It's a cute film. I loved it from the first few moments. You follow this big city doctor as he is seduced by the people of a small town, who are doing everything they can creatively think of to keep the doctor in town. Young Triffie's Been Made Away With. Another movie I talked about few years back on other blogs, and one of the first movies I stumbled across that really highlighted the province. A young police officer in the 1940's is called in to solve a murder and sexual assault, and finds himself in a Clue-style situation.
Rare Birds. A small restaurant owner who's about to loose his business, cons a group of bird watchers into hanging out there in order to keep customers, while his strange neighbour is dealing with a boat-load of drugs.
