| Films Made in Toronto Listed by Genre - 1 |

June
1 , 2004
updated March 25, 2006 |
|
| I started this list of the top 1,100 films made in Toronto with data from the Internet Movie Database and grew as I traced crew and other sources. I wanted it to be useful if you see a film on TV and wondered if it was shot here. The list was getting big and I quit a couple of times. I decided to include movies made not just in Toronto but in southern Ontario, TV movies which are more often coming out on video these days, and very old movies, which are probably not available on DVD/VHS but are of historical value . I was hoping to make a searchable database but I never completed that course. The genre categories are loose. Please contact me with titles I've missed. | |
