9. Last Night (1998)
Critical Characters: Sandra Oh, Don McKellar, David Cronenberg and Sarah Polley
The Happening: Although the movie never reveals the cause, the characters are told that New Year’s Day 2000 will be their last day on earth.
On the Brink of Disaster: Forget the looting, murder and mayhem brought on by pure apocalyptic panic, Last Night explores the more reasonable side of human nature as a group of Canadians come face to face with the end of the world. While some contemplate suicide pacts, others hope to live out their sexual desires, either way this one is surely a refreshing take on humanity’s final chapter.
