Leon...someone mentionned it above... isn't it in English? (The Professional) The link provided is with all english actors besides the lead, the excellent Jean Reno.
polytechnique is pretty damn good and theres also another movie, of the historical kind mind you, 15 fevrier 1839. I had to see it for a history class but was surprised that i came out liking the movie.
Are there any Quebec-made movies that are about New France and the people that inhabited it?
I am on a bit of a Quebec History kick for some reason right now.
I don't remember the name of the movie, you might want to check it up on IMDB, type search for "Luc Picard", its in his movie list, I think its either named 1837 or the Patriots or something like that. But that movie is after the English won over the French. I remember a few movies about New France that I saw when I was young, but no name or recollection comes to mind.

i mentioned it in the post above yours, its called 15 fevrier 1839. Not bad of a movie. Oh and if no one mentioned it yet, Rocket
''La Haine'', hands down best french movies about life in the Ghettos of France.
''La vérité si jmens 2'', if you understand the french slang from France ( Verlant) than you'll find this to be the funniest move ever. If you don't get Verlant, you'll probably won't get most jokes.
''Rabby Jacob'', Classic Louis de Funes movie, his best IMO. Hilarious comedy about two guys being hunted hiding out as acidic jews.

Folk stories: Séraphin: un homme et son péché (... not my kind of movies, but it was well made)
Historic: Nouvelle-France 15 février 1839 (written by a super nationalist, so don't expect anybody speaking english to be remotely likeable)
And of course, if you haven't seen Maurice Richard yet, you SHOULD SEE IT NAAAAAOW!!!
Back on OP because it's the kind of thread that will help this summer, those are not "masterpieces", they're not even great films but they are experiences of their own:
Irréversible -NOT FOR THE WEAK HEARTS dont come here and whine I didn't warn you. It is an extremely unpleasant movie to watch. Swimming Pool The Dreamers
In fact, these 3 all contain nudity and an unhealthy dose of immorality, each in a different manner (because they're Frrrench!). The kind of movie that, once the credits shows up on the screen, makes you say :" What the **** was that?"
It's only been named twice but I can't stress this enough. If you like bikers/gangs movies, Hochelaga is the best in business as far as french movies are concerned.
