13 Canadian Cult Films You Shouldn't Miss

12. Trailer Park Boys (1999)

Trailer Park Boys If you don't know Canada's cult trio of Ricky, Julien and Bubbles, then you're missing out. The Boys have been around for over a decade, mostly in television, as they continually try to make ends meet by growing dope, keeping the peace in the Trailer Park, or just making a driveway out of hashish. By far one of the most popular Canadian shows ever (as opined by predominantly male teenagers and cannabis lovers), Trailer Park Boys originated because a group of guys that met in high school decided to shoot a movie. The rest is history. While there are some slight changes to this unofficial pilot, the integral story-line remains the same: the rum and coke-toting Julian is released from jail and hires a camera crew to document his life as he returns to his Trailer Park to reunite with his BFF Ricky and get back into the pet assassination business. Shot in black and white and on the cheap, it is a good introduction to the duo, with some cameos by future actors that would go on to become a major part of the show (here's looking at you, Randy's gut).

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.
