Getting Married in Buffalo Jump (1990)
Was Toronto mentioned too many times?

In terms of excellence, this film has plot, acting, musical score, cinematography, location, charismatic presence (more than one)social and cultural commentary, and best of all to me...a happy ending for all. Nothing murky or surreal,as the higher rated films in Canada always seem to be. It even "upside-downs" some common perceptions about native Canadians. So, why do I never see it on one of the "best" Canadian film lists? It never seems to be mentioned. The town of Cowley boasts "Brokeback Mountain" as having been shot there, and also Pincher Creek, but never this one. I list 'Why Shoot the Teacher" and this as my favourite Canadian films.
