Movies Made in Alberta, or by Albertans
I was telling a colleague that FUBAR is the greatest movie ever made in Alberta, and it got me thinking, what other movies have been made in Alberta, or by Albertans? There's got to be lost lost classics.

I think I was about 17 when Fubar came out, and I went to watch it in theater on the recommendation of a friend, we actively disliked what we were watching, and walked across the hall to the sum of all fears. Haven't really tried to watch it since. but it is and remains the only time I've ever done that.

Glancing at the list, Interstellar and X2 definitely jump out to me.

Investigating Alberta ghost towns a couple years ago brought me to the story of Rowley and the Rowleywood sign on the outskirts of the town.
Bye Bye Blues , a movie set in Alberta during WWII and co-starring Michael Ontkean (of Slap Shot and Twin Peaks fame), was filmed in Rowley, Alberta. I visited the site in 2022 and it has been preserved as a movie set, with many of the buildings constructed during production still standing.
Here's a recent article from the St. Albert Gazette:

Waydowntown, I think this with the one where he lives in the +15 network and never goes outside? I've seen it.

Is TV not allowed? Because I loved 'Hell on Wheels.'
I even ran into Common and Anson Mount getting a drink and...as a good Star Trek fan does...asked them about working with Colm Meaney.
And as I've said before and shall re-iterate...Anson Mount is not an actor. He is genuinely that charming.

Well...that one goes without saying...you only hit up the East Village for one reason and that is getting 'Superman Wasted.'

Many things are filmed there. Shanghai Nights and Shanghai Noon being the notable ones I remember them talking about.
