13 Canadian Cult Films You Shouldn't Miss

4. Strange Brew (1983)

In the early 80s, no two comedians better typified the Great Canadian North than Bob and Doug McKenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas), who shot to fame through SCTV, Canada's version of Saturday Night Live. Following a best-selling comedy album, with the hit song "Take Off," they went full-scale feature film. Strange Brew was a movie that actually had some buzz behind it thanks to the success of SCTV. The plot centered around the two toque-wearing, beer-loving hose-heads who are forced to go out and get a job and accidentally discover a plot involving beer, world domination and - of course - hockey. The legendary Max Von Sydow played the evil mastermind behind the plan and follows in the same stupid-comedy genre of Cheech and Chong - only with beer.

Been there, done that but not too well. Continually financially restrained. Now (and still) lives in Western Canada and talks some hockey and parenting on ogieoglethorpe.blogspot.ca and watching trailers on 2minutemovies.blogspot.ca.
