It’s a bit of an open secret at this point that numerous Hollywood films are shot right here in Canada. In fact, so many U.S. films are shot in Canada that the country’s film industry is now affectionately nicknamed “Hollywood North.” Numerous factors make the Canadian film production industry so appealing to Hollywood producers and directors with favourable exchange rates, tax breaks and rebates, excellent studio facilities, versatile cities, stunning landscapes and locations, and even the quality of the light contributing to the country’s cinematic appeal.
If you’re curious to see some of the best that Hollywood North can offer, we’ve gathered together a list of several famous movies filmed in the Great White North. From Oscar-winning monster features to cult-classic teen comedies, these are the 15 best movies you didn’t realize were filmed in Canada.
1.芝加哥
Considering it was shot entirely in the Ontarian capital this film should have been called "Toronto”. Numerous historical Toronto locations and buildings act as stand-ins for the musical films Chicago setting with Osgoode Hall, Queen's Park, the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery, Casa Loma, the Elgin Theatre, Union Station, the Canada Life Building, the Danforth Music Hall, and Old City Hall all making an appearance.

2.The Incredible Hulk
Arguably the most disposable film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,The Incredible Hulk万搏体育官网网址以爱德华·诺顿(Edward Norton)为大自然的名义力量,以及布鲁斯·班纳(Bruce Banner)的Alter Ego。除了里约热内卢的开幕部分外,大多数拍摄都是在多伦多进行的。多伦多前市长戴维·米拉尔(David Millar)是绿巨人漫画的忠实拥护者,并说服电影制片人在拍摄高潮战斗序列时提供帮助,在城市中拍摄。序列本身是在Yonge Street拍摄的,而多伦多大学和Morningside公园则站在Culver University的场景中。

3.Titanic
James Cameron is arguably the most successful (from a box-office point of view) Canadian director of all time so it’s fitting that he would film significant portions of one of the highest-grossing films of all time in Canada. While most of the film was shot in a studio and off the coast of California, filming for the modern-day sections on the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh took place off the coast of Nova Scotia.

4.Juno
Juno, the tale of a teenager dealing with an unwanted pregnancy, was a career launchpad for many of those involved. The smartly funny and surprisingly sweet film put writer Diablo Cody and Canadian-American director Jason Reitman on the map. It was also the breakout film of actor Eliot Page who played the sardonic and wise-beyond-her-years title character. Set in snowy Minnesota, filming took place in the Vancouver area of British Columbia. The decision to film in Canada was partly for budgetary reasons but also at the insistence of Reitman.

5.The Shape of Water
The first of two films on this list that are set in Baltimore, Maryland but are actually filmed in Canada. This Oscar-winning film depicts the unconventional romance between a mute cleaner working at a secret research base and the humanoid amphibious creature held captive by the U.S. government. Director Guillermo Del Toro—who often films in Canada—used several Toronto and Hamilton as the backdrop for this aquatic tale.

6.暮光之城:新月
Look, we aren’t going to make a value judgement on theTwilightfilms. They are clearly beloved by fans, and their box-office pull is undeniable. The films take place in the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest, andTwilght这是第一部与人类/吸血鬼/狼人爱情三角形打交道的电影,是在俄勒冈州拍摄的。然而,该系列中其余的大部分参赛作品中的所有四个都在温哥华及其周围进行了拍摄。

7.IT: Part 1和IT: Part 2
You could argue that the fictional town of Derry, Maine is as much a character of this horror hit as the titular clown and the members of The Loser Club. However,Part 1和Part 2of this terrifying horror duo were filmed in Port Hope and Toronto despite the setting.

8.Catch Me If You Can
Spielberg’s breezy adaptation ofCatch Me If You Canwas a welcome relief after the grim trifecta of拯救大兵瑞恩,啊, andMinority Report。基于前骗子弗兰克·阿巴格纳尔(Frank Abagnale Jr)的自传。这部电影描绘了FBI特工卡尔·汉拉蒂(Carl Hanratty)(汤姆·汉克斯(Tom Hanks))的《环球旅行漏洞》和最终捕获Abagnale(Leonardo DiCaprio)。虽然看到加拿大用来描绘美国城市的加拿大地点并不罕见,但Catch Me If You Cantakes things a step further, with Montreal and Quebec standing in for the scenes set in France.

9.Shazam!
After the overly dour theatrics of Zack Snyders grimBatman V Superman, the silly superhero fun ofShazam!was a welcome surprise. Based on the DC Comic of the same name,Shazam!follows teenager Billy Batson who is bestowed with awesome magic that transforms him into a superpowered adult. Imagine Big meets Superman, and you’ll have the basic idea. The film is set in Philadelphia, but the principal filming took place in Hamilton, and yes, Toronto.

10。Brokeback Mountain
Brokeback Mountainis a groundbreaking neo-western that depicts the romance between two cowboys played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Compassionate, heartbreaking, and intense, the film garnered almost universal critical acclaim and went on to win several awards including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 78th Academy Awards. Director Ang Lee makes extensive use of the traditional Western landscape as a metaphor for masculinity and loneliness. Ironically enough, however, the Canadian Rockies in Southern Alberta stand in for the U.S. state of Wyoming.

11.Deadpool
Technically,Deadpool是这份列表中加拿大最多的电影。出生于坎迪安(Candian)的瑞安·雷诺兹(Ryan Reynolds)在一部完全在加拿大拍摄的电影中扮演加拿大超级英雄和Merc,并用嘴死了。这部无政府主义的超级英雄电影描绘了第四壁闯入漫威角色的滑稽动作,他追捕负责突变力量的人。Deadpool完全在雷诺兹(Reynolds)的家乡温哥华(Vancouver)拍摄,是对通常胆小的MCU电影的厚脸皮对立面。

12.Interstellar
Christopher Nolan’s epic sci-fi hit depicts the desperate attempts of a crew of astronauts looking for a new home for humanity as the earth becomes increasingly inhabitable. While most of the film was shot on soundstages, the sequences that take place in the dystopian rural dustbowl were shot in the province of Alberta. The filmmakers made extensive use of Nanton, Longview, Lethbridge, Fort Macleod, and the Seaman Stadium in Okotoks.

13.Mean Girls

14.善意狩猎
这部1997年的戏剧讲述了威尔·亨廷(Will Hunting)的故事,威尔·亨廷(Will Hunting)是南波士顿的看门人,恰好是数学天才。这部电影如此典型的波士顿人至少在波士顿拍摄的电影是牺牲的。幸运的是,这部电影的大多数外部场景都是在美国马萨诸塞州及其周围拍摄的。但是,哈佛大学和麻省理工学院附近的许多场景都在多伦多大学拍摄。

15.Hairspray(2007)
这部2007年的音乐剧是对同名舞台戏剧的改编,本身就是对侵犯Auteur John Walters的1988年电影的改编。在电影中,特雷西·特恩布拉德(Tracy Turnblad)(尼克·布朗斯基(Nikki Blonsky))在当地的电视舞蹈表演中扮演舞者,并最终在1960年的巴尔的摩争取种族融合。毫无疑问,尽管在巴尔的摩设置了毛发,毛发完全是在汉密尔顿和多伦多拍摄的。这主要是出于实际原因,因为巴尔的摩缺乏音乐数字所需的声场。
