From the Draft Workshop thread, it said that Canadian movies could count towards the foreign category, and I don't' watch many foreign movies so I wanted to pick a movie I've actually seen, but if you guys disagree, I'll move this choice to my Sports selection or Wild card spot. With the 275th pick, Team MissTeeks selects in the Foreign category, from Canada, Men With Brooms!
Who said a movie about curling had to be boring! This is a pretty good movie for a Canadian movie, I really enjoy it. But then I also have a deep love of Paul Gross from watching Due South when it was on. This movie is about a small town curling team who come back together after 10 years when their old coach dies. It brings these guys back after they haven’t spoken to each other after their Captain, Paul Gross, cheated in their last game by not calling a burned rock during the Golden Broom curling tournament. It really doesn't get more Canadian than this movie, with curling, beavers, Tim Horton's, Leslie Nielsen and of course, the Tragically Hip playing one of the teams in the Golden Broom. The best part of this movie is the sports announcer who gets increasingly drunk as the Golden Broom tournament goes on.
