13 Canadian Cult Films You Shouldn't Miss

6. Hard Core Logo (1996)

Hard Core Logo If there's one thing that has lent itself well to Canadian filmmaking, it is the mockumentary style. While the mockumentary style is commonplace on television now, in the 90s it was still something of an unexplored format. Director Bruce MacDonald made a serious mockumentary dedicated to the story of a reunited and bitter punk band named "Hard Core Logo." The movie follows Hugh Dillon (true lead singer of the Headstones) and Callum Keith Rennie as the two leads, as they try to adjust to being 20 years older and still anarchists. A mockumentary with music and heart, it follows Hugh as he copes with the onset of being a faded punk rocker whose ideologies no longer fit the world he's living in. They take one more nostalgic trip across Canada, playing in small crapholes to old fans and bored new ones.
