Think of movies like Top Gun, Forrest Gump, Rocky, Tombstone, for the United States. What are those “equivalencies” in Canada?

Thank you. :)

Why do Canadian movies and T.V. shows feel so... Canadian?
Someone answered this in another sub awhile back. I can't remember where or who because I would like to give credit to them. From what I remember, it basically comes down to less expensive equipment, especially the cameras, and the use of music/score. American productions use a lot of music, because they can afford it, whereas Canadian productions use much less. I'm not doing it justice, as this was very detailed, but that is the gist from memory.

50 Great Canadian Films Worth Checking Out — Talk Film Society
April 19, 2017 - An animated cult classic inspired by the fantasy comic magazine of the same name, Heavy Metal is an anthology film of various stories, all connected through a glowing orb known as the Loc-Nar, or ‘the sum of all evils’. What entails is a broad range of science fiction and mystic stories, moving through different dimensional planes and eras, making for a feature that’s greater than the sum of its parts. While certainly some parts haven’t aged well, it makes for fun escapism with a great soundtrack to boot. An adventurous Western biopic on the life of Bill Miner (Richard Farnsworth), known as ‘The Gentleman Bandit’ and famous for executing the first Canadian train robbery at the start of the 20th century, The Grey Fox has been honored as one of the most important Canadian films in history.
